CNN poll: Democrats are fired up and maintain a strong 2018 lead Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Four weeks out from Election Day, Democrats remain well ahead of Republicans in a generic ballot matchup, with 54% of likely voters saying they support the Democrat in their district and 41% backing a Republican, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

This is the widest margin of support for Democrats in a midterm cycle since 2006, when at this point, the party held a whopping 21-point lead over Republicans among likely voters. That's also when Democrats seized control of the House from Republicans, making Nancy Pelosi speaker

This year, Democrats' enthusiasm about their congressional vote has increased and 62% now say they're extremely or very enthusiastic to vote, up seven points since September among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Among Republicans and Republican leaning independents, enthusiasm has remained relatively steady, going from 50% in September to 52% in the most recent poll.

Democratic enthusiasm this year is more intense than it has been in previous midterm cycles, which typically engage voters less than presidential years. The 40% who call themselves "extremely enthusiastic" is the highest share to say so in a midterm election cycle since CNN first asked the question in 2009.

Democrats hold a 13-point lead over Republicans among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot, according to a new poll from CNN.

The CNN survey, which was conducted by SSRS and released on Tuesday, found that 54 percent of likely voters favor a Democratic congressional candidate in their district. Forty-one percent of likely voters said they support a GOP candidate.

This is the widest margin of support for Democrats in a midterm cycle since 2006, when the party held a 21-point lead over Republicans among likely voters, according to CNN.

The polls may be off but all you people laughing are living in la-la land. The Dems are probably taking the House.

CNN is absolutely right!

So much so that Dems can just relax and stay home and forget about that bothersome voting stuff.

Easy, breezy!

CNN's objective with this poll? Pump that Real Clear Politics average for the Dems back up to a more respectable number.

I assume Dems were oversampled by 10 or so points in the poll?

31% described themselves as Democrats, 25% described themselves as Republicans

In the last Gallup poll on party affiliation, Republicans held a 28-27% advantage.

Ok.....so what?

Is a poll some sort of legal document or evidence of anything?

Reckon I’ve war-gamed it about as well as I can or care to.
Sorry if it’s still unclear .. maybe someone else will come along and do a better job of it.
Or maybe I’m all wet and the enemy’s too honest to try anything so underhanded . . .

It is not going to be a pushover for either side, but their “blue wave” is not going to happen without super voter fraud.

This is not 2006. Dems don’t have a war to run against. The best they could do is gain 5-10 House seats and keep Senate losses to 2-3 seats.
