Republicans Take 5-Point Lead Over Dems In Generic Ballot

In the wake of the failed ObamaCare rollout, and millions of cancelled insurance plans, Republicans have surged ahead of Democrats in the Generic Ballot. For the week ending on December 1, Republicans lead Demcorats in Rasmussen weekly tracking 43 – 38 percent.

The latest Generic ballot is in line with the trend showing Democrats losing their post-shutdown advantage over the GOP, with the Republicans taking an even larger lead in PPD average Generic Congressional Ballot calculations. The Republicans now lead in the PPD average by 2 percent, jumping up from .8 last week.
