"According to the latest Gallup poll showing that 48% of Americans consider themselves Democrats, compared to 41% who identify with the Republican Party. Before last year's election, Republicans led Democrats. One curious thing, [CNN data dude] Harry Enten pointed this out this morning, in the first part of this year, the generic ballot Democrats versus Republicans was basically tied, Phillip said. Now, Democrats have an advantage."
"Scott, he's deeply underwater, Phillip said, alluding to a Reuters poll released this week. It's 56 to 42. I mean, look, here's what I think, Jennings responded, while noting that Trump said he would be willing to meet with Democrats amid the ongoing government shutdown, which began on Oct. 1 after the Senate failed to pass a bill to fund the government beyond Sept. 30 via a continuing resolution."
Polling shows Democrats lead party identification, with Gallup finding 48% of Americans identify as Democrats versus 41% as Republicans, and the generic ballot now favoring Democrats after being essentially tied earlier this year. One analysis indicates President Trump's job-approval rating rose by one point, though a Reuters poll showed 56% disapprove to 42% approve. The government shutdown began Oct. 1 after the Senate failed to pass funding beyond Sept. 30. Seven Democratic votes are needed to overcome a 60-vote procedural threshold in the Senate, which Republicans control 53-47. Democrats sought an extension of ACA premium subsidies; Republicans refused.
