CNN Poll of Polls: Tracking the race for U.S. House control

Ahead of America’s Congressional elections, polls frequently ask voters which party’s candidate they would support in their own House district, a question sometimes referred to as the “generic ballot.” The CNN Poll of Polls averages these results as measured by non-partisan, national surveys that meet CNN’s standards. Generic ballot polling provides a look at the overall political environment, but since members of Congress are elected from individual districts, a party’s share of support in such a national poll may not directly correlate to the number of seats they win in the U.S. House. A close divide in generic ballot preferences often signals Republican gains in the House. See generic ballot polling over time
