Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 47%, Democrats 38%
Republicans now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, August 22, 2010.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 47% of Likely Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 38% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
The previous week, Republicans held a 12-point lead, the biggest they’ve had in over a decade of Rasmussen Reports surveying. But support for Republicans is down one point from then, while support for Democrats is up two 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. GOP support since June 2009 has ranged from 41% to 48%. Support for Democrats in the same period has run from 35% to 40%.
