Overall, this poll shows Democrats with a +5 advantage in the generic ballot poll. When the recession starts soon, Democrats advantage will get even better.

However, YouGov's prior poll asked about the generic ballot for those not registered to vote, and Democrats lead Republicans there by 29% to 17% (that's across all ages). So there's definitely "gettable" non voters out there to be had.
