Some interesting poll results from yesterday from the National Journal:
Today’s United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll showed Democrats with an 11-point lead over Republicans in a generic ballot question asked to registered voters. When asked if they would “rather see the Republicans keep control” of the House or see “the Democrats win enough seats to take over control of the House,” 48 percent chose the Democrats, and 37 percent chose the GOP.
That type of result, if true, would switch control of the House back to the Democrats, quite easily actually.
And ABC News and the Washington Post released a poll on the favorability ratings of the three men looking to be elected President this November. Only one of them should be smiling.
Favorable/Unfavorable ratings, ABC/Washington Post poll, 1/24/12 (11/27/11 ratings in parentheses for Gingrich and Romney; 12/11/11 ratings in parentheses for Obama)
President Barack Obama (D): 53/43 (48/49)
Mitt Romney (R): 31/49 (38/38)
Newt Gingrich (R): 29/51 (35/42)
Romney now has almost Gingrich-like toxic numbers. Both are unelectedable in a general election.
More polling goodness:
