It's bad news for Democratic congressional candidates.
According to Rasmussen Reports:
Republican candidates have stretched their lead over Democrats
to six points in the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows
that 43% would vote for their district's Republican
congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her
Democratic opponent. Republicans have held the lead for over
four months now.
Voters not affiliated with either party continue to heavily
favor Republicans, 43% to 20%.
A vote for nationalizing the health care system could easily be
the final nail in the political coffin for a number of moderate
Democratic legislators.
