Midterm generic ballot moves toward Democrats as independents move away from Republicans – By Kerry Eleveld (Daily Kos) / July 1, 2022

As the seismic Supreme Court ruling stripping Americans of abortion rights ripples through the country, multiple polls are now seeing movement toward Democrats in the congressional generic ballot contest.

Those polls include a several-point shift picked up in the Civiqs’ generic ballot tracking poll as well as the following pre-/post-decision surveys:

• NPR/maristpoll: D+5 —> D+7
• MorningConsult: Tie —> D+3
• Yahoo/YouGov: D+4 —> D+7

Internal data from Civiqs tracking is picking up the same trend, with a net shift of 4 points toward Democrats from before the ruling gutting Roe v. Wade to after it was released.
