ABC/Washington Post Generic Ballot poll - Democratic lead:

July 2017 +14
October 2017 +11
January 2018 +12
Today +4

from +12 to +4. that's quite a drop for democrats in the last 3.5 months.

there is lots of time left before the midterms, but thought this was an interesting poll.

distorted research causes this situation, when our researchers understand that the electoral dynamics are state and not federal, maybe they get right . Democrats need 23 seats, they can achieve that in blue states, a New Jersey state poll put the Democrats at 20 pts in intent to vote, that means the 7 to 5 can turn into a 12 to 0, the same can happen in Maryland.

Not only are Democrats going bye-bye, but RINOs are on the way out too.

That’s a big drop very quickly, which suggests it’s an outlier without other polling showing similar moves. And the elections we’ve seen so far have made strong moves toward the Democrats, so it’s a little too early to say this is good for Republicans.
