Democrats Lead Polls as DOJ Charges Former FBI Director Comey

Democrats Lead Polls as DOJ Charges Former FBI Director Comey

On October 27, the Justice Department filed a criminal information against former FBI director James Comey, and recent national polls showed Democrats leading the generic congressional ballot by about nine points in the United States. Earlier polls released on October 23 indicated that Democrats were ahead of Republicans in projected House races, with voters citing inflation and opposition to President Donald Trump as key motivators. A separate NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found Trump's approval low among both registered and likely voters, and a PBS/NPR/Marist survey reported that many respondents opposed Trump, reinforcing the Democratic advantage.
