Politics: “Republican candidate” looking pretty darn good this year
- Gallup’s latest poll of generic candidates favors the GOP big time. While there’s a difference between John McCain and Sharron Angle, the fact of the matter is that the most recent result is the most extreme showing in the 69-year history of this particular poll. And the lead has doubled in recent weeks, too. Which leads one to think Democrats are going to be screwed in November.
- 10% the lead over “Democratic candidate” in the latest poll
- 7% the lead in the same generic poll as of two weeks ago
- 5% the lead in the same generic poll as of one month ago source
