Rasmussen: Republicans Top Democrats on Generic Congressional Ballot (R-41%, D-38%)
Rassmussen
For just the second time in more than five years of daily or weekly tracking, Republicans now lead Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 38% would choose the Democrat. Thirty-one percent (31%) of conservative Democrats said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate.
Overall, the GOP gained two points this week, while the Democrats lost a point in support. Still, it’s important to note that the GOP’s improved position comes primarily from falling Democratic support. Democrats are currently at their lowest level of support in the past year while Republicans are at the high water mark.
Democrats began the year holding a six- or seven-point lead over the GOP for the first several weeks of 2009. That began to slip in early February and the Republicans actually took a two-point lead for a single week in the middle of March. Since then, the results have ranged from dead even to a four point lead for the Democrats.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
giggle I love the graphic!
Let’s hope the sleeping giant is about to wake up. Personally I believe the more we purge POS’s like Specter, the better our numbers become.
Some of this to might be from the tea Party effect … In every Congressional district. I think the poll will widen, I speak with people that thought Obama was the hottest thing since sliced bread, now the SAME PEOPLE approach me and tell me they can’t believe they voted for the loser in chief, one at a time OUR Country is waking up to this, empty suit punk excuse of a human.
……Thank you RAC for sending this to me.
RAC has a website that is awesome. 336th Assault Helicopter Company

Better off without Specter and hope any remaining RINO’s bail out and let the party regain it’s roots. It is quite clear he doesn’t care about the people he is supposed to represent and jumped to try and ensure his re-election. What a POS. Specter, Murtha, PA wake up.

Wild Thang: “empty suit punk” — LMAO !! Youse gots some BRASS there lady !! and I LIKE it!! Specter… Quelle Suprise…. he’s been a POS for the duration, now he’s just TRYING to save his ass/seat. It’s going to/has backfired. OLD ASS needs to GO THE PHAUCK H-O-M-E. Yeah LOVE the ‘Douchbag Alert Chart’ , going to print it NOW.
This is just one week. What counts is a three or four month trend. However, it is indicitive that people may be waking up. Some of the Democrat voters may be realizing that the Dems promises ae not working out too well as unemployment continues to rise.
Barack maybe limping and people may recognize the teleprompter president but Obama brought the Chicago’s political machine to Washington with him. They have been getting empty suits relected for a hundred years. He may be a one-off Ivey league twit but Michelle is third generation Chicago machine. Look how many of the Illinois Governors go to prison but the vote keeps going for the next machine crook.
Save your money there is going be a need for more donations next year than ever before and shun anyone calling to get money out of politics, they are not your friend. Acorn got four billion dollars in the stimulus bill, 2010 will be the crookest election in American history.
Slightly incapacitated yesterday and forced to watch an episode of that maggot Matthews on MSNBC at the kid’s place, revolting how the left is singing praises to their messiah “allah soutpiel”. This phony TOTUS would make a good stage prop for a remake of ‘Weekend At Bernies”. The corpse is the “life” of their party!
I’m sticking by my promise to not fund the GOP, only the candidate of my choice even if it’s a third party candidate, preferable!!!
So if voters differ so fundamentally with the president on the very essence of his program, why do they give him high ratings? They are like the recently married bride who took her vows 100 days ago. It would be a tragedy for her life if she decides that she really doesn’t like her husband. But she keeps noticing things about him that she can’t stand. It will be a while before she walks out the door or even comes to terms with her own doubts, but it is probably inevitable that she will.
Bob A., I agree, Specter was a waste.
When they vote Dem what good are they
for what our party stands for.
I agree Bob.
Alex, hahaha well er ah, heh heh
Glad you like the chart too.
Tom, yes your right, it has to stay
consistent and then go even more into
being ticked at Obama.One good thing
he really does his own self destruction
on so many things and that helps us.
Like the plane thing in N.Y. even
though he said he is angry about it,
there will be people that know he
had to know about it and did not
stop it.
Avitar, thanks your right. I grew up in
Illinois and I remember how the Chiacgo
machine was in place back then too. And
before I was born too.
Jack, LOL loved how you described him.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Mark, that is a good example, I think that
might be what they are doing.
