Democrats Lead in the Generic Ballot

A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds Democrats lead the generic congressional ballot 47% to 42% with 11% undecided. Among people who say they are definitely or very likely to vote, the margin is 50% to 45%.
And this is stunning: Just 28% of U.S. adults say the country is on the right track, while 60% say its on the wrong track.
Gallup: Americans satisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S. is at its lowest since President Donald Trump took office in January, with 29% now saying they are satisfied.

The GOP is allowing all of the law breaking, democracy ending actions of the Trump administration, and Democrats are only leading by 5 points? JFC: Americans are stupid!
