Outlets disagree on this: Emerson College Polling showed Democrats with an 11-point generic ballot lead, while more recent polls from RMG Research, Washington Post, and RealClearPolitics averages indicate the Democratic lead has since shrunk to between 2 and 5 points.
Although several outlets carry this claim, their reporting traces back to a single shared source — so it counts as one confirmation, not several.
