Democrats are in position to retake control of the House, according to a new poll ahead of the midterm elections.

The CBS News Battleground Tracker poll released on Sunday found that the Democratic Party would win 224 seats in the lower chamber — or six more than 218 seats needed for a majority — if the general election occurred today.

Six percent of Americans who voted for Trump say they will vote Democratic in this election, while just 2 percent of Clinton voters said they would vote for a Republican.

CBS News also notes that voter turnout could play a big role in whether Democrats retake control of the House.

The survey comes as Democrats try to seize on opposition to Trump to retake control of the House. Many polls have indicated Democrats are in position to do just that.

The poll, which was conducted by the online polling company YouGov, surveyed voters from across the country and specifically focused on 61 congressional districts that are estimated as the most competitive races. It polled 4,557 respondents between Sept. 17 and Sept. 21. It has a margin of error of 12 seats.
