President Donald Trump cited another "generic poll" that allegedly shows Republicans leading Democrats ahead of November's midterms.

Unlike Sunday's tweet, in which he named and incorrectly stated a specific poll that showed Republicans with big gains and ahead of Dems, it's not clear which poll Trump was citing Tuesday.

However, RealClearPolitics' average of the generic congressional polls shows Democrats with a lead of 6.9 points over Republicans for the period ending Feb. 13.
