(R)asmussen Congressional POLL: Republicans 41, Democrats 41. Tied for first time in 2.5 years.
Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 41%, Democrats 41%

For the first time in nearly two-and-a-half years, Democrats and Republicans are tied on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, November 13.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s congressional race if the election was held now, while the identical number (41%) would choose the Democrat instead.

1. Somebody mentioned the debates affecting opinion. I think there's something to that.

Also, I think people are realizing Obama isn't anything close to bad when compared to what we could have.

2. The Dems had been leading in the Congressional polling. Hope this poll is an outlier.

3. Not in right-leaning (R)asmussen's poll.
The shill has shown a GOP lead for 2.5 years. Check the table at the link. This is progress. :)

6. If Rasmussen has them tied tied, then the Democrats have at least a slight edge
Rasmussen really needs to stop polling at the nineteenth hole of a ritzy country club.
