[Satanicus]

Monday, August 16, 2010

Republican candidates have jumped out to a record-setting 12-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, August 15, 2010. This is the biggest lead the GOP has held in over a decade of Rasmussen Reports surveying.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely Voters would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate, while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Support for Republicans is up two points from the previous week, while support for Democrats dropped three points.Republicans have led on the Generic Congressional Ballot since June of last year, and their lead hasn’t fallen below five points since the beginning of December. Three times this year, they've posted a 10-point lead. Prior to this survey, GOP support since June 2009 has ranged from 41% to 47%. Support for Democrats in the same period has run from 35% to 40%.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Republicans back their party's candidate, while 75% of Democrats support the candidate of their party. Voters not affiliated with either party prefer the GOP candidate by a 52% to 21% margin.Fifty-four percent (54%) of white voters favor the Republican, but 77% of African-Americans prefer the Democrat.

The number of Republicans in the United States slipped a point during July, while the number of unaffiliated voters gained a point. Overall, the numbers signal a high level of stability in the parties as there have been only modest shifts throughout 2010.

Shut up. No one ever said such a thing. You keep referencing a single post made by Sonnabend regarding a poll that said 15 year olds were adults. Stop with this stupid bullshit.

Back on point, generic congressional polls mean nothing. I'd take more stock in a generic presidential poll than a congressional one. Congresspeople are elected in small districts so you can't really do a generic poll and get a good feel. Case in point: no matter what, someone like Maxine Waters will still get re-elected. Hell, William Jefferson got re-elected after they found that money in his freezer.

but that is the point of these kinds of polls - they ask you who you will be voting for in your district - the dem or the republican.
