WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Democrats hold an 11-point advantage over Republicans on national generic House ballot three months ahead of November's midterm elections, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
Fifty-two percent of Americans said that they want to see Democrats take back the House, while 41 percent want to see House Republicans maintain control, the CNN/SSRS poll found.
However, 48 percents of the respondents believe Republicans will maintain control of Congress after the mid-term election, compared with 40 percent who believe Democrats will gain control.
U.S. voters said that health care remains their most important issue ahead of the elections, with 81 percent ranking the issue "very" or "extremely" important.
Coming in a close second were concerns about the economy, which 80 percent of voters ranked as "very" or "extremely" important.
Immigration came in third, with 77 percent of voters giving it the same importance. Just 45 percent of Americans say the Russia investigation remains "very" or "extremely" important.
The poll contacted 1,002 adults including 921 registered voters between August 9-12. The margin of error is 3.9 percentage points.
