Democrats Jump Into Six-Point Lead on Generic Ballot

[Islandborn]

and in the same week from Rasmussen

Generic Congressional Ballot - Rasmussen Reportsâ?¢

So.....it doesnt take a genius to BOIL these numbers down


Category D R

2008 2 party split 56% 44%



Rasmussen 2 party split July 18 44% 56%


Gallup 2 party Split 53% 47%

So Rasmussen takes us from D+12 to R+12 for a 24 point swing to the Repubs, a 64 seat Repub gain and a 242 to 193 Repub House Majority

Gallup, meanwhile takes us from D+12 to D+6 for a 6 point swing to the Republicans an 18 seat Repub gain, and a 239-196 Dem House

So the predicted results are nearly mirror images of each other. Fascinating.
