Democrats Open Big Lead in Generic Ballot


Another interesting tidbit from the new Quinnipiac poll:

"Looking at the 2014 Congressional races, voters pick a generic Democrat over a generic Republican candidate 43% to 34%, the widest Democratic margin measured so far."

According to Politico, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) "has privately warned House Republicans that they could lose their majority in 2014 as a result of shutting down the government."

1. And that lead will only get bigger

as the lunatics carry on.

2. They need it

with gerrymandered districts, I'd say we need at least 10% in the generic ballot in order to have a chance at taking the House back.

Fortunately the House Republicans seem more than willing to help us get to that 10%.

3. According to Nate Sliver, we need a 7% lead (nt)

4. I hope he's right

but I'd like to add a little padding on there in any case.
