Republicans and Democrats around the nation are statistically tied when it comes to which party voters prefer to control the House of Representatives — but Republicans have a 6-point lead in key battleground states, according to a poll.

Nationally, 49% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate if the election for House were being held today and 51% said they would vote for the Republican candidate.

Democrats trail Republicans in the generic congressional ballot by 12 points in Ohio; 10 points in Florida; 6 points in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina; 4 points in Wisconsin; 4 points in Nevada; and the parties are statistically tied in Pennsylvania, according to the survey. Independents tell a different story. Fifty-two percent say they’ll vote for the Republican candidate and 48% say they’ll vote for the Democratic candidate, suggesting that voters who identify as independents are leaning more toward Republicans this election cycle.

Overall, a plurality of likely voters overall say inflation is the most important issue to them right now, followed by crime and safety , abortion , climate change and guns .

How could anyone vote republican at this point?

Red Wave, Blue Wave, who cares. Either way, we the People are screwed. Every couple of years we put the other Party in charge, and nothing changes.

According to 'a' poll. Well if American voters are going to base their choices and participation of polls, then they deserve the lawmakers they get and they have no one to blame I'd democracy is replaced with facism. Polls are just that. They are hardly a real representation.

If your statement is true there is something very wrong with your network

This is a good reminder to everyone to get out and vote. And please come along with someone. We really need this win. Democracy is on the line. No complacency this time
