Democrats top Republicans by 11 points for House control: Survey

The 970-voter survey also gives Democrats higher marks on empathy and issue alignment as both parties draw low approval ratings.

  • In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, Democrats lead Republicans 49% to 38% for control of the House, a margin two months before the midterm elections.
  • Republicans gathered in Dallas as President Donald Trump unveiled a $5,000 plan for American adults, contingent on Republicans retaining control of both chambers of Congress in November.
  • Yet voters express broad dissatisfaction with Congress overall; just 21% approve of Democrats' performance while 26% approve of Republicans'. Tim Malloy noted Democrats are judged "more empathetic" regarding voter concerns.
  • Separately, 70% of voters oppose renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America, while six out of 10 disapprove of the White House ballroom construction the Supreme Court approved last week.
  • Voters remain divided on the ongoing Iran war strategy. Thirty-nine percent support keeping forces while negotiating, 30% favor withdrawal, and 22% want increased operations, reflecting deeper partisan splits.
