Generic Congressional Ballot: GOP 46%, Democrat Party 36% (voters, thought, Democrats, Republicans)

[LoveToRow]

Republicans, as they have for nearly three years now, continue to lead Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot, this time for the week ending Sunday, April 15.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s congressional race if the election were held today, while 36% would choose the Democrat instead. This is the largest gap between the two parties since the beginning of 2011. It also doubles the gap found a week ago when the Republican led by five points, 45% to 40%.

Great news!

Perhaps this has ~something~ to do with the Senate Democrats failing to attempt to pass a budget for three straight years.

Rasmussen = right wing propaganda.

Typical leftist, shoot the messanger. Now, how about something to dispute the claim.

Rasmussen is a known propaganda outlet. There is nothing to dispute when the source is know for distortion.

Holy Moly!

Well, we know what happens when the generic ballot is tied (1994) and we know what happens when the GOP has a 3-8 point lead (2010).



Oh yeah, that WILL be front and center in the fall. The do-nothing, laziest Senate ever..under dem control.

a survey of pollsters found Rasmussen tied for first in accurately predicting the 2008 prez elections. I don't claim to be an expert on polling, but I've always noticed that Rasmussen tends to be a step ahead. Other pollsters seem to end up where Rasmussen is, only a couple months later. A good example is when Ras. found Gingrich had suddenly vaulted to the front of the R field in Dec 2011. It looked like an outlier at first, but it turned out to be anything but.
Rasmussen: Gingrich 38, Romney 17

If it makes people feel better to shoot the messenger, however, I fully understand that.

I wish I had someone in the room with me to make a bet, I thought "Rasmussen poll" before I clicked the thread. You'd have just as much luck predicting the election asking Mitt Romney's opinion on what he thinks the generic vote would be
