A new poll from Convention of States Action reveals that generic GOP candidates have nearly a 13-point advantage over Democrats heading into the 2022 midterms.
The poll, done in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, considered one of America's most accurate pollsters in recent years, was done Feb.2-6 and included more than 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
"It’s clear from this data that Republicans remain far ahead in this race, and if they win, voters believe they will deliver. However, these numbers also spell danger for Republicans," explained Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action. "GOP leadership has not laid out clearly what they would do if they are elected, and voters feel very strongly about action being taken on issues from law and order to the border to inflation and the economy.
"If voters get wind that their priorities are not being taken seriously, and lose confidence in Republicans to deliver, these numbers could shift dramatically."
The full results are posted online.
They show 54.4% of American voters prefer generic Republican candidates in the midterm elections. while 41.9% prefer Democrats.
