Rasmussen shows trend toward Republicans
Liberal Democrats and their communications staff in the national media have been telling us since November that conservatism has failed, the Republican Party has fallen, that the best thing we can do is move leftward and gracefully accept life as a permanent minority.
The Rasmussen polling service finds today, however, that a generic Republican congressional candidate would beat a generic Democratic candidate for the first time in the nearly two years that Rasmussen has been tracking this trend.
Today 40% of voters say they will vote for their Republican candidate in the next congressional election versus 39% who will vote for their Democratic candidate.
Only a week ago, 42% said they would support the Democratic candidate, while 28% said they would support the Republican. The last poll taken before November’s disastrous election showed the generic Democrat with a 3-point lead, 43% to 40%.
The generic Republican candidate leads most strongly among independent voters (34-28%), investors (44-35%) entrepreneurs (44-40%). Meanwhile, fully 12% of Democrats and only 8% of Republican say they would consider voting for the other party’s candidate.
