Republicans now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, August 22, 2010.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 47% of Likely Voters would vote for their district's Republican congressional candidate, while 38% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
The previous week, Republicans held a 12-point lead, the biggest they've had in over a decade of Rasmussen Reports surveying. But support for Republicans is down one point from then, while support for Democrats is up two points. Republicans have led on the Generic Congressional Ballot since June of last year, and their lead hasnt fallen below five points since the beginning of December. GOP support since June 2009 has ranged from 41% to 48%. Support for Democrats in the same period has run from 35% to 40%.

My intuitive take is that this narrowing from GOP+12 to GOP+9 in the Ras Generic Congressional Ballot is just due to chance involved in the individuals sampled, as opposed to a real change. Don't think it represents a trend toward the ‘Rats.

9 points huh? Let's see, -5 for voter fraud, -1 for voter intimidation, -1 for dead voters, -1 for ACORN . . . still going to be close but Good News overall! Volunteer at your local polling place. .

Remember: This is a generic Congressional ballot.
They are not voting for Obama, but perhaps the white Democrat who has screwed them out of a decent job.
70% support for these clowns in the party that take blacks for granted is far too high.
Dont be surprised if the GOP does well among minorities.
