Democrats now lead Republicans by 52% to 41% in a nationwide generic Congressional ballot according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released Tuesday. The blue lead has increased slightly from eight percentage points in June of this year to an 11 percentage point difference in the most recent poll.
Despite Democrats' advantage on that measure, a plurality (48%) in the same poll believe Republicans will maintain control of Congress after the election, compared with 40% who believe Democrats will gain control.
Among those who favor the Democratic candidate in their district, 64% say they think Democrats will ultimately win control of Congress, while among those backing Republican candidates, 83% think the GOP will maintain control.

With those numbers we definitely recapture the House, have a better than 50% chance of winning the Senate, and picking up 10 gubernatorial seats. The gubernatorial seats are a plus. So many Americans would be freed from the yoke of Russian tyranny.

And these polls could actually help GOTV efforts, through the bandwagon effect.
