The Republican candidates lead the Democrats on the generic congressional ballot by one point, according to Rasmussen Reports’ weekly poll released Friday.
Friday’s poll shows that Republicans still have the upper hand going into the election in 39 days.
The Rasmussen Reports survey showed that the GOP candidates are only one point ahead of the Democrats on the generic congressional ballot, which is one point down from last week.

1% is fine. It means about 5% once you straighten out the usual sampling.
A double-digit GOP lead.
“ And another result is notable: Among those living in congressional districts that are rated as at least somewhat competitive by ABC’s FiveThirtyEight (neither solid Republican nor solid Democratic), registered voters favor Republican candidates by a wide 55-34 percent – nearly as big as the Republican lead in solid GOP districts (+24 points). Democrats lead by 35 points in solid Democratic districts, pointing to a potential overvote where they’re most prevalent.”

From the Washington ComPost, no less.
Rasmussen is a conservative polling company.
Its twitter feed is a good source of information:

This is a generic ballot. Some other polls seem to suggest Democrats are doing even better than normal in Democratic seats which means they’re doing even worse than you would expect from these numbers in close or republican leaning seats.
Mitch and Kevin want to lose.....it’s all they want for Xmas.
useless. The individual races that matter
No problem. The mail ins, fake, duplicate, illegal alien vote, and tabulation monkey business will easily overcome and silly 1%
It was even, a month before the 1994 rout.
Well the October surprise should seal the deal for the anti-American warmongers then.
They said Republicans were up by 1% in 2018. Democrats gained 40 seats.
I agree.
In Congressional election seasons these polls are not worth much. I imagine in places like CA and MA the Dems are beating the “abortion” drum and have widened a lead that was already wide.
However, in purple states the races are probably tight or leaning right.
Statistics are fun. People basing any life decision on them without understanding how they work are foolish.
While I don’t believe this for a minute, I without question believe the GOP is blowing this election... they will certainly win, but not nearly by what it should be..
This is just an embarrassment to watch... across the board.
Rasmussen was Rush’s favorite pollster.
With all the bad news you’d think even non-political people would want to block the Biden agenda because they are being hurt financially.
But...what if people do not realize government spending is a problem?
I have heard a..you guessed it...college educated woman who did not understand printing and spending money will lead to inflation. She said if the Fed (well no, I had to tell her it’s the Fed because she thought the government prints money) creates more money we would be wealthier because we have more money.
I’m not joking. This is someone with a Master’s degree.
It is a combination of suspect polling and the GOP’s usual election campaign strategy of circle jerks and surrender...
The GOP never foregoes the opportunity to “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory”...
the confirmation bias is strong in you.
I assume that almost all or all of the people who abortion is the most important issue for always vote for democrats. So the important factor would be their turnout. I wonder what the turnout rate for people who are most adamant about abortion is?
No, the observational reality is strong.
GOP will win, but it will be nowhere near the type of win it should be unless something drastically changes soon.
