Democrats Take Lead in Congressional Ballot


A new Democracy Corps poll shows that, for the first time in two years, Democrats are winning the generic congressional ballot, 47% to 44%, the result of a major shift among independents.

Key finding: "Two-thirds of all voters now say they disapprove of this Republican Congress and its approval rating has hit a new low in our tracking -- 26%. The decline has come from a complete drop-off of those who 'strongly approve' of this Republican Congress -- down to 8%, also the lowest in our tracking."
