On the generic congressional ballot, Democrats lead 47 percent to 44 percent with 1 percent preferring another choice and 8 percent undecided. The margin of error is 3 points. This basically comports with most similar polls by other major organizations in which one party is either slightly ahead of the other or both are essentially tied.
Independents favor the Republicans by 43 percent to 37 percent with 20 percent undecided. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
