Republicans now hold a 3-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending August 4.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s congressional race if the election were held today, while 38% would choose the Democrat instead. The week before, Democrats led by one – 39% to 38%, but the voters still trusted the GOP on the majority of issues, including the all-important issue of the economy.
