Gallup: GOP +3 in Generic Ballot

A rare event in Gallup polling:
Registered voters now say they prefer the Republican to the Democratic candidate in their district by 47% to 44% in the midterm congressional elections, the first time the GOP has led in 2010 election preferences since Gallup began weekly tracking of these in March.

The March 22-28 results were obtained after the U.S. House’s passage of landmark healthcare reform legislation on March 21. The shift toward Republicans raises the possibility that the healthcare bill had a slightly negative impact on the Democrats’ political fortunes in the short run. …

A Republican advantage among all registered voters in midterm elections has been rare in Gallup’s 60-year history of tracking congressional voting preferences, happening only a few times each in the 1950, 1994, and 2002 election cycles — all years in which Republicans had strong Election Day showings.
Dems should be very worried about November.

And don't think that voting against Obamacare will save you. Don Surber has the story of an Alabama Democrat who voted against Obamacare but is getting pounded in the polls thanks in large part to Obamacare. The key factor is not the vote but the party. Obamacare is poison to all Democrats.

    Obamacare is the KoolAid for the Democratic party and they have all drank of it freely. Now we can observe how they are like fruit on a dying vine and in November they will all be finished and fall down to the ground and rot.
