CNN: GOP Leads in Generic Congressional, 48-45

In Soviet Union, balls dip YOU!

It's 48-45 with mere registered voters.

With all adults -- all respondents -- the GOP still leads by a titch, 46-45.

Write Up: Geoff tells me that Rick "Manslaughter" Sanchez isn't talking about this.

Democrats face a growing enthusiasm gap in this year's battle for Congress, according to a new national poll.

...

Forty-nine percent of Republicans questioned in the poll say they're extremely or very enthusiastic about voting this year, up 6 points from November. Thirty-one percent of Democrats say they're enthusiastic, down 11 points.

...

According to the survey, 48 percent of registered voters say they would vote for the Republican candidate for Congress, with 45 percent saying they'd back the Democrat. The 3-point edge for the GOP is within the poll's sampling error - but it's a switch from November, when the Democrats held a 50 to 44 percent advantage....

"That 3-point difference doesn't sound too bad for the Democrats, but the party's numbers are boosted by high levels of support in districts that the GOP has no chance of winning this year," says Holland. "In safe Democratic districts, the Dems have a 21-point advantage over the GOP."

I likes it.

Thanks to AHFF Geoff.
