GOP increases lead over Dems in latest generic congressional ballot survey
Republicans have expanded their midterm elections advantage over Democrats by 4 percentage points, and now enjoy a 13-point lead in the latest generic congressional ballot.
Fifty percent of likely U.S. voters would cast their ballot for the Republican candidate, while 37% would vote for the Democrat, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey. Only 4% would vote for another candidate, and 9% are unsure.
Democrats are facing election headwinds that historically do not usually favor the party in the White House.
