Can We Just Send the Democratic Leadership Some Shipping Crates Now?
Republicans lead by 51% to 41% among registered voters in Gallup weekly tracking of 2010 congressional voting preferences. The 10-percentage-point lead is the GOP’s largest so far this year and is its largest in Gallup’s history of tracking the midterm generic ballot for Congress…
This marks the fifth week in a row in which Republicans have held an advantage over Democrats…
Matthew Sheffield pulled out a bit more of the Gallup article that will have Democrats diving for the anti-depressants and bottles of Ripple: since the poll began in 1942, the Republicans had never held more than a 5-point lead. They started the month by tying the record, then broke the mark three times. In other words, the American public has not wanted the Democratic party out of power more since at least the middle of World War II.
And what’s worse, this poll included registered voters, not likely voters. As we know, most registered voters don’t quite make it to the polls on Election Day. Likely voters do, which is why we call them likely, and most of those voters are going to be very excited Republicans.
So maybe Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid should start packing now to save us all a bit of time. I suspect the Republicans will want to get to work taking a machete to the wicked tangle of freedom-killing, totalitarian government we’ve had foisted on us the past 18 months. At least they will if they have any political sense at all.

What goes up… must come down. Outliers have a way of doing that.

Didn't any of you learn anything about not relying on single individual polls in the last big election (especially since Gallup hasn't yet switched from an RV to LV sampling model yet)? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I do love how all the (polls ain't sh*t) conservatives from 2008 are all polling science gurus now, though.
You can go back to strictly quoting Scott Rasmussen next week.

Maybe those 6 crazy Teabaggers shouldn't be measuring curtains or helping congressional Dems pack just yet.
