Republican candidates are scooping up undecided voters in the run-up to November's midterm elections, according to a poll released Thursday.
Republican congressional candidates won on a generic ballot with 49% compared to Democratic congressional candidates' 45%, according to a poll from USA Today and Suffolk University.

The results are noticeably different from the July edition of the same poll, where Democrats led with 44% to Republicans' 40%.
The Thursday poll showed President Biden's job approval rating sits at approximately 44%, while 53% disapprove of how he has handled office. This figure is up from July, when the president was maintaining a 39% approval rating compared to a 56% disapproval rating.

Worrying about Democrats, 43% of voters say they agree with the statement, "I want my vote to change the direction President Biden is leading the nation."
Additionally, 28% agreed with the following: "I want my vote to support the direction President Biden is leading the nation."
The USA Today/Suffolk University poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters via landline and cellphone calls. The poll was conducted from Oct. 19 to Oct. 24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Democrats are increasingly concerned that Black voter turnout will fall in the upcoming midterm elections, as polling shows lukewarm enthusiasm for the party in power, according to Politico.
"If Black turnout were to fall this year, it would seriously complicate — if not eviscerate — Democrats’ path to victory in hotly contested gubernatorial and Senate races across the country, including Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin," Holly Otterbein and Elena Schneider wrote.
A Politico-Morning Consult poll released last week revealed that only 25% of Black registered voters were "extremely enthusiastic" about voting in the upcoming election, compared to 35% of Hispanic voters and 37% of White voters.
