2010 cnn poll: congressional dems with 10 point lead-44-34%

Fifty-two percent of people questioned in the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey said they have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, down 6 percentage points from February.

Forty-one percent said they have a positive view of the Republican Party, up 2 percentage points from February.

"Most Americans still have a favorable view of the Democrats; half have an unfavorable view of the GOP," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling drector.

According to the survey, 44 percent said the country would be better off if the Democrats control Congress, with 34 percent saying it's better if the Republicans were in charge.

"By a 10-point margin, Americans say that the country would be better off if the Democrats controlled Congress. That's down from a 15-point advantage in April, but it is very important to note that the change has not helped the Republicans at all," Holland said.


Kind of puts Rasmussen's polls into huge disrepute. As a matter of reference,cnn got the 2008 results nearly perfect in their final poll.

This is great news.

3. Matter of reference, Rasmussen was also right on the money in 2008
and 2004.

Generic congressional ballots don't indicate much anyways, especially this far out.

That is too high. What the hell is there to be favorable for? And it went up? You would think with the neanderthalism it would go down.
