ABC Poll: Republicans Up 21 Points on Dems in Battleground Districts

Republicans hold a 21-point lead in battleground House districts on a generic congressional ballot as the party seeks to regain control of the chamber in November's midterms, a new poll found.

Among people living in congressional districts that are rated as at least somewhat competitive by ABC's FiveThirtyEight, registered voters favor GOP candidates 55% to 34%, ABC News/Washington Post poll results showed.

That Republican lead is almost as big as a plus-24 advantage in solid GOP districts. Democrats lead by 35 points in solid blue districts.

Overall in House races, registered voters favored Republicans 47% to 46% – historically not enough to prevent typical first-midterm losses by the sitting president's party.

One likely voter model has a 51%-46% Republican-Democratic split, said Langer Research Associates, which conducted the poll for ABC News.

The GOP also is favored with three of the four most important issues heading into the midterms.

The economy (84%), education and schools (77%), inflation (76%), and crime (69%) rated as the four most important issues to voters. Republicans were considered the party more trusted to deal with the issue with the economy (plus-16 over Democrats), inflation (plus-19), and crime (plus-14).

The GOP earned its biggest lead in handling crime in 30 years as the issue has surpassed abortion among concerns for Americans.

Democrats held a plus-6 rating in addressing education and schools.

It was little surprise that President Joe Biden's party also was considered the party more trusted to address abortion (plus-20) and climate change (plus-23), though those issues were ranked Nos. 5 and 7 among the top seven by voters.

Immigration (61%) came in as the No. 6 most important issue. Democrats held a 1-point led as being trusted to handle it.

“Immigration (61%) came in as the No. 6 most important issue. Democrats held a 1-point led as being trusted to handle it.”

Well, as long as you believe they also have ocean front lots located in Kansas and Indiana to sell to people, I guess one can still trust the Dems on immigration.

This means nothing at all as long as we have the specter of VOTER FRAUD and BALLOT TAMPERING being IGNORED.

But the Democrats are ignoring these issues, and pushing Donald Trump and FBI raids and January 6th as key issues.

I heard that the latest episode of the January 6th Show, starring Liz Cheney, is coming soon. We are supposed to be on the edge of our seats waiting breathlessly for the latest from Liz.

I don’t believe that’s the case. Every single Republican I have spoken to (even the TDS ones) are pissed and fed up with this crap. They WILL vote even if up 60 points!

I’m voting in Arkansas’ elections even though it’s already in the bag. And I’m more excited to vote now than I’ve ever been.

First time in my life I’ll vote straight GOP. No independents or third parties this time. Democrats must lose control of the House and Senate. They must lose every state level position. That’s priority #1.

The above should read the "The Last of Liz Cheney"!

And if you answer one of these polls and give the incorrect answer, you can expect an no-knock FBI raid on your home at 3am on some random morning in the next couple of months.

The current trend is Democrats stealing elections and the government threatening and arresting people who question it. Whether that trend is altered this election remains to be seen.

And the media will be shocked, shocked I tell you, when it turns out that all of these political polls grossly undercount conservative voters. It is almost as if conservatives are inexplicably refusing to take part in media political polls.

Fox was reporting on so.e poll. Think it was ABC that said Dems lead on the Education issue. Sorry can’t buy that.

This could be bigger than 2010 at state and local levels.
