Rasmussen Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 49%, Democrats 40%

rnc-logoOnly eight days to go. All the BS spewed from the lame stream media is how the Democrats suddenly got their mojo and enthusiasm back. If you consider a one point increase in Democrats along with a one point increase in Republicans in voters who say they will vote for the party, then that’s probably why you believe the country is in good shape right now. Like last week, the Rasmussen Generic Congressional Ballot has a spread of nine points in favor of the Republicans. Oh and BTW, among voters not affiliated with either major party aka independents, Republicans now hold a 14-point lead. For a little bit of perspective, the Generic Congressional Ballot number were tied going into 1994 midterm elections. In 2008 during the perfect storm for Marxistcrats, Democrats held an 8.7% on Nov 2, 2008.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of respondents say they would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 40% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
Even more worrisome for Democrats, however, is the finding that among the voters who are most closely following the midterm elections Republicans hold a 56% to 38% lead.
While the margin has varied somewhat from week-to-week, Republicans have been consistently ahead on the Generic Ballot since June of last 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, the Democrats enjoyed a seven-point lead on the Generic Ballot.
