10-point Republican lead on generic congressional ballot now largest in 68 years: Gallup
President Obama told New Orleans on Sunday that five years after Hurricane Katrina he was sticking with them in their endless recovery.
But it was Republicans who got the rainbow today, a historic new Gallup Poll showing the party of Lincoln has now built a whopping 10-point lead -- 51 to 41 -- among registered voters over Obama's Democrats in the revealing generic congressional ballot for the Nov. 2 election.
That's by far the largest margin ever earned by Republicans since Gallup began tracking such a predictive political indicator in 1942.
The 10-point lead is also twice as big as the five-point spread the GOP had going into the 1994 midterm elections under Democrat President Clinton when the party seized control of both houses of Congress for the first time in four decades.
Usually the numerical dominance of Democrats gives that party a....
Another poll rainbow for the GOP finds its party members now more than twice as enthusiastic about voting on Nov. 2 as the si se puede change agent's supporters.
According to Gallup's analysis, the size of the Republican lead even before Labor Day, combined with a stubbornly sour economy and worsening jobs numbers despite repeated administration promises to the contrary, suggests a historic "wave" election this fall.
However, a new Newsweek poll finds great hope for Democrats to avoid a "Midterm Bloodbath" because Obama's approval rating has only dropped one more point and, according to Newsweek's survey, 47% approve of the Democrat's job while only 45% disapprove. Also, in the last 16 months disapproval of Obama's successful growing of the federal deficit has only jumped 13 points from 45% to 58% now.
So it all comes down to which poll do you believe: the one by the troubled weekly magazine that was just sold for $1 to a 92-year-old businessman who's married to a Democratic congresswoman? Or the one by the 75-year-old, highly-respected professional polling organization?
