Democrats Open 14-point lead for mid-terms; Marist Poll

A clear majority of voters would choose a Democrat candidate for Congress if the midterms were held today, a new poll shows.

The PBS News/NPR/Marist survey, conducted between November 10 and 13, revealed that 55 percent of voters would elect a Democratic candidate, compared to 41 percent who would opt for a Republican.

The 14-point lead for the Democrats is the party's largest since November 2017. In 2018, during Trump's first term, the Democrats won more than 40 seats in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

Dems will retake the house and, if they have a shred of integrity, will immediately begin investigations and impeachment proceedings into Trump and most of his cabinet.

The odds for Dems will only improve as the economy deteriorates over the next year.
