Democrats drew level with Republicans in a congressional preference poll ahead of the US midterm elections, driven by a boost to President Joe Biden’s approval rating and the political focus on abortion.

The NBC News survey of registered voters showed the parties at 46% each, suggesting possible momentum for the Democrats after they trailed by 2 percentage points in a similar survey in August. The differences in party support were within the margin of error in both polls.
