Republicans still have an edge among men, white voters and those without a college education.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-50a35a\" class=\"body-graf\">That 5-point Democratic lead on the generic ballot is essentially even with the<strong> <\/strong>NBC News poll conducted in March, when Democrats had a 6-point<strong> <\/strong>lead. Looking at similar points in previous midterm election cycles, both parties were tied on the generic ballot in the May 2022 NBC News poll, while Democrats had a 10-point lead<strong> <\/strong>in the June 2018 NBC News poll.<\/p>\n<section id=\"anchor-0b9e34\" class=\"embed-widget embedWidget embed-widget--medium\" data-testid=\"embed-widget\"\/>\n<p id=\"anchor-a2b93b\" class=\"body-graf\">\u201cThese are rocky numbers for Republicans, but they are not catastrophic,\u201d said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted the survey with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-203b4d\" class=\"body-graf\">McInturff noted that Democrats held a larger advantage in recent \u201cblue wave\u201d years, like 2018. But Democrats also have a much smaller hill to climb to take the House this year: They need to net just three seats, even if redistricting has narrowed the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-94e64e\" class=\"body-graf\">Democrats do face a tougher battle to net the four Senate seats needed for a majority in that chamber, since they would have to win multiple states Trump won by double digits in 2024.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-246c7a\" class=\"body-graf\">Horwitt, the Democratic pollster, noted there were some signs of cracks in the GOP base in the fight for Congress.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-be3775\" class=\"body-graf\">A higher share of voters (95%) who backed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while<strong> <\/strong>90%<strong> <\/strong>of Trump voters say they prefer a Republican-controlled Congress.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-58c1ec\" class=\"body-graf\">\u201cDoes this need to be 2018? No,\u201d Horwitt said, referring to the election where Democrats netted 40 House seats. Horwitt added that Democrats \u201care still in a really good position, despite redistricting, to win seats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7e9e7b\" class=\"body-graf\">Democrats\u2019 advantage in the battle for Congress comes as Trump\u2019s approval rating has dropped to 42% among registered voters, the<strong> <\/strong>lowest mark of his second term in NBC News surveys. Trump previously dipped that low among registered voters in July 2020, in the depths of the coronavirus pandemic. (Among all adults, Trump\u2019s approval rating stands at 39%.)<\/p>\n<section id=\"anchor-d83896\" class=\"embed-widget embedWidget embed-widget--medium\" data-testid=\"embed-widget\"\/>\n<p id=\"anchor-7f25e6\" class=\"body-graf\">Trump continues to struggle significantly with independent voters, with two-thirds disapproving of his job as president.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-0feebe\" class=\"body-graf\">Meanwhile, some groups that shifted toward Trump in the 2024 election \u2014 most notably young voters and Latino voters \u2014 are now registering sharply negative opinions of the president\u2019s job performance. Among Latinos, 64% disapprove and 34%<strong> <\/strong>approve of Trump, while 77% of voters between ages 18 and 29 disapprove of Trump, compared to 21% who approve.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-e8d7f9\" class=\"body-graf\">Republicans are still broadly sticking with Trump, with 82% approving of his job as president and 58% saying they \u201cstrongly\u201d approve. But that GOP support has dropped since March, when 88% of Republicans approved of Trump\u2019s job as president and 63%<strong> <\/strong>strongly approved.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-070010\" class=\"body-graf\">The president\u2019s low marks come as voters voice more pessimism about the direction of the country and some of its major institutions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-095396\" class=\"body-graf\">A majority of registered voters \u2014<strong> <\/strong>56% \u2014 say they believe America\u2019s best years are behind it, compared to 40% who believe America\u2019s best years are still ahead.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-55b8a8\" class=\"body-graf\">Those results are similar to when NBC News last asked the question in 2022. It\u2019s the fourth consecutive time a majority of respondents have said they believe the country\u2019s best years are behind it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-48a6ba\" class=\"body-graf\">In the new poll, about 60% of Democrats and independents say America\u2019s best years are in the past, while Republicans are split on the question. Majorities of white, Black and Latino voters believe America\u2019s best years are behind it. Meanwhile, a handful of groups that lean Republican and more conservative, along with middle class voters of color, believe America\u2019s best years are still yet to come.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-ea4bc0\" class=\"body-graf\">There are similar trends across a different, related question, about achieving the \u201cAmerican Dream.\u201d Almost 80% of voters say the American Dream is harder to attain now than it was a generation ago, while 17% say it\u2019s about the same and only<strong> <\/strong>5% say it\u2019s easier to attain now.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-3a1c0a\" class=\"body-graf\">The poll also details how voters have also soured on some major political institutions as they prepare to pass judgment in the midterms.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-eac2f2\" class=\"body-graf\">Half of voters say they have very little or no confidence in the federal government, particularly younger voters, while 18% say they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence. And<strong> <\/strong>58% of voters say they have very little or no confidence in Congress, while 11% say they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence in Congress.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-c89542\" class=\"endmark body-graf\"><em>The NBC News poll surveyed 2,400 registered voters from May 29 to June 7 via a mix of telephone interviews and an online survey sent via text message.
