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.

Oops I misread. It was 8/6 to 8/8, my bad.
“...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...”
This male with a college degree, who lives in a big city, who does not shop Walmart when he can avoid it, supports Mr. Trump.
Finally some good news. All I’ve been seeing the past few days is that the Dims have been increasing their generic lead.
Plenty of FReepers turn up their nose at ‘Walmart shopping hillbillies’.
If that’s so, they can all do us a favor and jump.
This one who lives in a big city, has 2 grad degrees, doesn’t follow NASCAR, is under 50 and does shop at Wal Mart because he worked for the company for 5 years and respects it and the value it offers, is happy with President Trump and will vote straight ticket Republican in a few months.
Mueller plans to do the same. His report will have nothing related to Trump but it will read like Trump killed Mother Teresa. Meanwhile,
Trump will dump the whole thing, Rat collusion proof, document proving spying inside the campaign, documents (unredacted) proving the media has had the un-redacted FISA documents since May, Huber’s investigation into the Hillary’s server BS, etc.
The question is - who will prevail?
I wonder where they would be without Zogby’s infamous Special Sauce?
