BY THE NUMBERS

Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48 percent to 44 percent among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup's generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing by 6 points in July and 2 points last month, the polling firm said Wednesday at Gallup.com.

The Nov. 5-8 update comes just after Republican victories in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections, which saw Republicans replace Democrats as governors of those states.

As was the case in the recent gubernatorial elections, independents are helping the Republicans' cause. In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52 percent to 30 percent. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91 percent of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93 percent of Republican voters preferring the Republican.

Over the course of the year, independents' preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown, from a 1-point advantage in July to the current 22-point gap, Gallup said.
