The Progressive media has pushed the theme that the GOP Congress is heavily unpopular. They have been smeared as Rightwing Extremists, despite the fact Speaker John Boehner is a Liberal Republican. The conventional wisdom is that the GOP will suffer losses in the House but hang onto control. Well a new USA Today/Gallup poll shows this may not be the case. Republicans lead Democrats in the generic ballot 50%-44%
For the first time during this campaign cycle, the GOP has an advantage in congressional elections. By 50%-44%, those surveyed say they’re likely to vote for the Republican congressional candidate. The two parties were tied in the USA TODAY Poll in February, and Democrats had a 7-point advantage last August.
If these numbers were to hold, the GOP would actually make gains in the House. Clearly Americans don’t want Pelosi as Speaker again. It looks like emphasizing Gay Marriage isn’t working out for the Democrats.
