“In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were “very important.” Now, that’s down to 2 points, a statistical tie. (NPT) “Democrats’ advantage on which party Americans want to control Congress has also been cut in half since last month. “Democrats still retain a 6-point edge on that question, but it was 12 points after a Marist poll conducted in mid-September. “The results come amid the pitched and hotly partisan confirmation battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
