Republicans Pulling Away ?

Public unhappiness with the Democrats' legislative agenda--government health care, tax and trade, cash for clunkers and various bailouts--is increasingly being reflected in the generic Congressional preference numbers. Today Scott Rasmussen finds support for Republican Congressional candidates at its "highest level in recent years." Republican candidates enjoy a five-point lead over the Democrats, 43-38 percent. That represents a stunning turnaround from Election Day 2008, when the Democrats had a six-point lead in the Congressional preference poll.
