Democrats have a 48% to 44% advantage for the week of July 19-25 in Gallup tracking of registered voters' preferences for the 2010 congressional elections. This marks the second straight week in which Democrats have held an edge of at least four percentage points.
Democrats Maintain Advantage on Generic Ballot, 48% to 44%

I'll wait for the usual suspects to come in and tell us why Gallup is lying, or that there's corruption involved, etc.

Everything is looking up for the dems!

Sit back and relax now since the polls show us they will be winning and maintaining control of America.

It is so great to see them making ALL OF THE DECISIONS for all of us Americans.

Democrats are in total control of America, everyone needs to understand that.

Told you - it was an anomaly;

GOP Resumes Favorable Standing on Generic Ballot

Quote:
Registered voters favor Republicans by 48% and Democrats by 43% in Gallup's generic congressional ballot for the week of July 26 through Aug. 1.

While the five-percentage-point edge for Republicans is not statistically significant, it represents a return to the prevailing 2010 pattern, seen since mid-March, whereby Republicans were tied or held a slight advantage over Democrats in most Gallup Daily tracking weekly averages.

If sustained through Election Day, this competitive positioning for the Republicans among registered voters would point to major seat gains for that party in November given the usual Republican advantage in turnout.
Something for you to ponder.

The spanking democrats took in 1994? The republicans were slightly behind in generic polling on election eve. An actually lead portends disaster for the dems.

That being said, we certainly shouldn't be hearing any crying about Republican obstructionism going forward.

Default enjoy your theoretical lead

.....just as you enjoyed Obama's theoretical Nobel Peace Surprise, his theoretical improving economy, his theoretical experience you used to justify voting for him and his theoretical healthcare savings

error rate +-4
Reps come out on top with measured enthusiasm

The enthusiasm factor is a real concern for Democrats. They better get fired up or it might be as bad for them as the GOP is hoping. If the prospect of tea party candidates doesn't do it for them, then they deserve to take a beating in the fall.

There will be a pretty clear choice in Nov. Do we want to continue out of the ditch or go back into it?

Yeah, turned out Gallup had a bit of a hiccup. See above post.
