Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 48%, Democrats 39%

rnc-logoMore bad news from the progressive liberal Democrats. According to the latest Rasmussen Generic Congressional Ballot, Forty-eight percent (48%) of respondents say they would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while only 39% would vote for a Democrat. Yet even more bad news for Democrats according to this poll is that voters who are most closely following the midterm elections Republicans hold a 55% to 36% lead.

While the margin has varied somewhat from week-to-week, Republicans have been consistently ahead on the Generic Ballot for over a year, and their lead has run as high as 12 points and as low as three points. When Barack Obama first took office as president of the United States, the Democrats enjoyed a seven-point lead on the Generic Ballot.
