Rasmussen McHitlerBunker: GOP Up, Big, in Generic Congressional
In the generic congressional, he has Republicans up nine, 44% to 35%, which, I feel stupid for having to say this but you are, of course, morons, is almost ten.
The latest poll has Republicans holding steady and Democrats losing two points from their previous level of 37%.
RedState figures that that kind of a lead is good for a 60 seat pickup. Assuming all the things you need to assume.
If you click around Rasmussen's site, it's pretty much all good news, or, at least, neutral-to-good.
Another Poll: This one of registered voters, in which Democrats, unsurprisingly, hold a margin-of-error non-lead of 47% - 44%. Hotline, which conducted the poll, notes this means that Democrats will lose, not gain, seats.
Democrats are having success at attacking the Tea Party:
Meanwhile, it's not just incumbents who are viewed as unpopular. The poll also shows support for the Tea Party movement is dropping, and a majority of voters now have unfavorable views of the libertarian-leaning movement. Just 36% see the Tea Party favorably, while fully 50% say they have an unfavorable impression of Tea Partiers.
That's a significant jump, of 11 points, in voters' unfavorable mood, since a poll conducted in late March. The rise comes after months of orchestrated efforts by Dems to paint the Tea Party as out of touch with mainstream America.
Registered voters, again, but even so-- the trend is there. (That is, the last poll was of registered voters too, and the last poll had higher levels of support for the Tea Party.)
