Posted Jan 28, 2010 at 10:32 AM by Maurice Berger
According to a new NPR poll, the GOP leads Democrats in the generic congressional ballot, 44% to 39%--a +5% advantage.
In 2008, the Democratic advantage in the survey was +8%.
Among the most motivated voters, the GOP lead is even greater: "Most significantly, the generic ballot improves to blowout levels
among the voters most interested in the elections. Among the 70% of likely
voters who rate their interest in the upcoming November elections as an 8-10 on
a scale of 1-10 (where one means not interested/ten means very interested), the
GOP lead on the generic ballot grows to 48%-38%. Among 10s, it is a 50%-36%
margin."
