Rasmussen Report on Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 48%, Democrats 36%
Topics: Political News and commentariesToday's Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely Voters would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate, while only 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent:
[...] The survey data was collected on the seven days ending Sunday, September 5, 2010.As promising as this is for GOP chances of picking up seats in the House and Senate in the midterms, the enthusiasm gap makes it all the more promising. And to these factors, the fact that voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 of the important issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports, and it's beginning to look like the agenda of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid to drive America into a broke socialist state is about to hit a major road block.This matches the largest advantage ever measured for the Republicans. Three weeks ago, the GOP also held a 12-point lead.
Still, while the margin has varied somewhat from week-to-week, Republicans have been consistently ahead in the Generic Ballot for over a year. During 2010, the GOP edge has never fallen below five points. When Barack Obama first took office as president of the United States, the Democrats enjoyed a seven-point lead on the Generic Ballot.
