Dems lead GOP by 13 points in generic House ballot: poll

Democrats are leading Republicans by 13 points on a generic House ballot ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.

The poll found that 51 percent of voters said they want to see the Democratic Party gain control of the House of Representatives in the November midterms, while 38 percent of those polled said they wanted to see Republicans maintain control of the lower chamber.

The poll also found that 46 percent of independent voters wanted to see Democrats control the House, while 35 percent of independents said they wanted to see Republicans in control.

Additional surveys show Democrats holding leads over their Republican counterparts as well.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll released this week showed Democrats with a 51-percent lead over Republicans, while 39 percent of voters said they would support Republicans on a generic ballot.
