GOP Widens Gap On Generic Ballot

This is good:

The 2010 election is still more than a year away, so anything can happen.  But Democrats in Congress have to be getting nervous.  According to Rasmussen Reports:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 43% would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

That represents the lowest level of support for Democrats in recent years, while Republicans have tied their highest level of support for the third straight week. The previous low for Democrats over the past year was 37%.

This summer, support for Republican candidates ranged from 41% to 43%, support for Democrats ranged from 37% to 39%. Looking back one year ago, support was strikingly different for the parties. Throughout the summer of 2008, support for Democratic congressional candidates ranged from 45% to 48%. Republican support ranged from 34% to 37%.

Let's hope it keeps up.

There's my two cents.
