A new nationwide Zogby survey of 1,016 likely voters in the U.S., conducted 8/6/18 to 8/8/18, with a margin of error of +/-3.1%, shows democrats with a slight edge over republicans in the congressional generic, but republicans are catching-up.
The Takeaways
Republicans are doing much better than they were a few months ago when it comes to the congressional generic. Republicans continue to make big gains with independents, small city voters, and union voters. President Trump is doing well enough among his base-men, older voters age 50+, Walmart Shoppers, NASCAR fans, voters without college degrees, rural voters, small city voters, plus, voters in general are happy with their current finances, and optimistic about the next four years for the economy.
Since our last poll in June, the President has consolidated his lead over democrats when it comes to who voters trust on issues of growing the economy and security.
President Trump will need to get his numbers in the mid forties percentage wise regarding who voters trust more "growing the economy and keeping America safe" among voters age 25-34, women, and independents. Trump will also need to receive strong support from his base to prevent democrats from making serious gains in the November congressional mid-term elections.
Trump's doing alright regarding his job approval rating, and is much more trusted with "growing the economy and keeping America safe" than democratic leaders. He is also benefitting from a decent economy, a low unemployment rate and an inflated stock market. All of these factors can change pretty quickly. From now until November lots of things can change, and there is always lurking an "October surprise", which could hurt republicans.

I hope the Great Newspapers Of Our Nation do another all-hands Trump Hate Event.
zogby has been a disaster forever.
46% is bullshit.
And yet yesterday NBC of somebody had a poll showing ‘rats with an eleven point edge over the ‘pubs - these guys should get their story straight.....
I see this ‘generic poll’ result every year...
and every year I wonder why the Dems, then, never put their Party in their ads- if their Party is so favored?
Here’s to us Trump-voting, smelly, Walmart-shopping hillbillies! ;-)
The secret is in the sauce...
.
Zogby as usual trying to help his Democrat friends.
GOP is ahead by enough to cause the MSM panic we are seeing.
This is the like the Zogby Clinton up 11% now only up 8% poll.
I got your Blue Wave - right here!
If Zogby is talking about Republicans gaining he knows where the trend is going, and its not for the Dems!
TDS is going to erupt early Nov, after the election . 40% of the country is gonna be, out on the ledge ... lol !!!
Right on!
Isn’t Trump at 36% among blacks right now? No Democrat can win if that stays the same or rises.
Get the vote out in your area! That’s what’s important! Tell conservatives in your neighborhood that their constitutional rights including Second Amendment rights depend on it! Tell them that President Trump will only be able to continue winning for us with a Republican majority Congress.
Wow, I never knew there was a classification of voter known as the “Wal Mart Shopper.”
Dead democrats, illegals, stray dogs, and nursing home patients, are usually enough to best a Republican. If not,there are 27 cars in storage with hundreds of thousands of lost but suddenly found provisional ballots all in sequential numbers.
Just curious but how can a survey conducted from 8/6 to 8/18 be complete when today is only 8/16?
