Republicans leading Democrats by 4 points on generic congressional ballot in new poll
The Hill ^ | 10/27/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD

Posted on 10/27/2022 9:27:54 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republicans have rebounded to a 4-point lead over Democrats on the generic congressional ballot, according to a new Suffolk University-USA Today poll.

Forty-nine percent of likely voters said they would vote for the Republican candidate if elections for Congress were held today, compared to 45 percent support for the Democratic candidate, the poll found.

The GOP’s advantage marks a turnaround from the pollster’s past surveys over the summer, when Democrats saw gains as they latched on to the Supreme Court’s overturning of abortion protections.

The pollster’s late July national survey found Democrats with a 4-point lead, garnering 44 percent support to Republicans’ 40 percent. In the days before the court’s abortion ruling, Democrats and Republicans were nearly tied.

Irrelevant poll: Congressional voting is completely local, not a nationwide referendum.

Dem’s can’t be doing worse, and R’s are ahead by 4 in a mid-term?! Hopefully this poll is factoring in the cheating, and the actual people are like +30.

This was one of the most left-leaning pollsters and a consistent huge outlier to the Ds on RCP until now.

Like magic.

LOL!

“Irrelevant poll: Congressional voting is completely local, not a nationwide referendum.”

Yup, so called ‘generic ballot’ is a nationwide poll of voters , and includes high population, hard Dem states like CA, NY, etc that skew the results Dem. In a true tossup election, Dems will lead by 2%-3% on a generic ballot. A 4 point Republican lead is a 6 point swing, at least. Bad news for Dems!

Yes they did put up some garbage poll. I guess they were just reporting.

What did the 1994 polls say at this point in the election cycle? I think we are going to outdo even that result.
