President Donald Trump\u2019s poor approval rating continues to weigh down his party ahead of the midterms \u2014 though the GOP has a slim measure of separation from the president, with Democrats holding a 5-point lead in the battle for control of Congress, according to a new national NBC News poll.<\/p>\n

The poll \u2014 which was sponsored by More Perfect, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to advancing democracy \u2014 found 49%of registered voters say they prefer to see Democrats control Congress as a result of this year\u2019s elections, compared to 44% who prefer Republican control and7% who are unsure.<\/p>\n

Independents lean toward Democrats by a 12-point margin,46%-34%, as do majorities of Black and Latino voters, voters under 50 years old and those with a college degree. Republicans still have an edge among men, white voters and those without a college education.<\/p>\n

That 5-point Democratic lead on the generic ballot is essentially even with theNBC News poll conducted in March, when Democrats had a 6-pointlead. Looking at similar points in previous midterm election cycles, both parties were tied on the generic ballot in the May 2022 NBC News poll, while Democrats had a 10-point leadin the June 2018 NBC News poll.<\/p>\n
