Now we can honestly say that President Obama has achieved something worthwhile. Tonight Rasmussen has released its weekly look at party strength via the Generic Congressional Ballot. When the President took office in January of this year the Democratic Party had a seven point lead, but after ten months of an Obama Presidency the GOP has taken a 7 percentage point lead.
The report shows that if elections were held today, 44% of likely voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would select the Democratic opponent.

Too bad elections aren’t today. Let’s see what happens on that Tuesday in Novemeber 2010.
If the GOP plays this correct, this could make the 1994 republican revolution look small.
We will have a great victory in 2010, provided there are still free elections in this country.
It makes me think of the last line from Saving Private Ryan...... Earn it.

Ping!!!
There is great potential here. There is still time for this to change and the lead may be concentrated in the South, but the tide has clearly turned in our favor.
It will take a 70 point lead to beat ACORN, SEIU and viral voting machines made in Venezuela.
I don’t know if that is good or bad. Talk is cheap. I’ll hold my vote until I see Republicans Walk the Walk. I still believe action speaks louder than words.
Thanks justiceseeker93. Big surprise. :’)
The really sad part about this is those folks who won’t give up the koolaid.
93% of black folk support Barack Obama. Obviously, they are being racist.
That’s good news! It also looks like tomorrow will be another good day of polling for us, but bad for Zero.
And of that 37% preferring democrats, what portion live in thoroughly blue states? Unknown, but that 37% is obviously not distributed evenly across all states. I would assume that this means the advantage for republicans is even bigger than the figures suggest.
Thanks for the ping!
Still, if the GOP held onto that 7 point lead and that were to be the actual total vote for the House nationally, it would be almost a statistical certainty that the Republicans will win back control of the House (which would likely mean that John Boehner would replace Pelosi as Speaker). That's because the 'Rats tend to have huge percentage majorities in their safe districts, larger than the Pubbies tend to have in theirs.
The Senate as a whole would be more difficult to predict. That's why Ras does state by state polls with prospective candidates' names for the Senate, rather than a generic ballot.

HOLD CANDIDATES' FEET TO THE FIRE ---- PASS THE WORD: To tea partiers, 9/12 marchers, pro-lifers; defense of marriage, 2nd amendment, anti ObamaCare, anti-amnesty, anti cap/trade conservatives.
These are the terms under which we conservatives permit candidates to earn our support:
(1) Your conservative group holds an official position within the campaign;
(2) Your group's issue is affirmed in the candidate's platform;
(3) Your group is in attendance at all campaign strategy meetings;
(4) Your group holds a paid job in the campaign;
(5) Your group holds a paid position in the winning candidate's elective office.
(6) The candidate must renounce RINOS and pukeneos before he/she gets conservative endorsement.
“It will take a 70 point lead to beat ACORN, SEIU and viral voting machines made in Venezuela.”
You are stretching it. We will only need a 30-40 point lead ;-)
Rules to Vote By........
It just struck me that a political party that uses the institutions of the United States as the means by which it attacks the body politic of the United States is the political equivalent of AIDS.
