Democrats Retake Lead in Congressional Ballot


A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows Democrats now leading the generic congressional ballot, 45% to 40%, a reversal from last month when Republicans led by three points.

"The new readout came as the economy continued showing signs of improvement and the tumultuous battle over the health care law that President Obama finally signed in March faded into the background."

Congressional Democrats approval is at just 37%, however, Republicans are rated even lower at 31%. Just 36% want their own member of Congress re-election this fall.

2. But of course it would not be AP if they did not have this "warning":

Even so, the poll underscores that the political environment remains ominous for Democrats. (And calling their advantage "tenuous" -- did they call it "tenuous" when GOP was ahead?)

7. Round and around it goes, and where it stops, nobody knows.

I put no faith in reasonableness influencing the election.

It's whoever has the best marketing combined with random world events.

It has plenty of time to spin around several times more before the elections.
