CNN: GOP Has 7 Point Lead; Voters Who Dislike Both Parties Breaking Towards GOP; Independents Swing Wildly Towards GOP
Sixty two percent of Independents -- sixty two! -- now say they would vote for a Republican in their district. (The "generic Republican" question.)
They had been at plus 8 last time. Now they have a thirty two point advantage with Indies, 62-30.
And that's a 24 point bump with this group in month.
The one problem is that people who don't like either party are still unlikely to vote, even if they would prefer the GOP out of both parties they don't like. The GOP still has to do something to make them want to cast a vote.
