With control of Congress hanging in the balance, Republicans and Democrats are neck-and-neck in the weeks before November’s midterm elections, according to a poll released on Sunday.
Registered voters are giving the GOP the advantage on inflation, the economy and crime, while Democratic candidates are getting an edge on abortion and climate change, the /ABC News poll shows.
Asked if the election for the House were held today, 47% of voters said they would choose the Republican candidate, compared to the 46% who opted for the Democrat – well within the 4 percentage points margin of error in the recent survey.
The results are similar to a Rasmussen Report survey from last Friday that found 44% of likely voters would back the Republican candidate in the midterms, while 42% would support the Democrat.
The GOP’s lead increased one point from a week earlier but it has narrowed since mid-July when Republicans were ahead by as much as 10 percentage points.
