Generic Congressional Ballot Republicans Remain Ahead on Generic Ballot for Third Straight Week Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Advertisement Republican candidates continue to lead on the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot as Democrats fall to their lowest level of support among voters in recent years. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 40% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would choose the Democratic candidate. Support for both parties dropped one point over the past week, with Democrats reaching their lowest level support in over two years of polling. Support for Republican candidates is just one point below its highest level over that same time period. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter. Democratic support on the congressional ballot has ranged from a low of 37% to a high of 50% in the past 12 months. In that same period, Republicans have been preferred by 34% to 41% of voters nationwide. Democrats held a six- or seven-point lead over the GOP for the first several weeks of 2009. That began to slip in early February, and since mid-April, the parties have been roughly even. Men prefer Republicans by a 43% to 35% margin. Women remain divided this week, favoring Democrats 39% to 38%. Voters not affiliated with either party like GOP candidates by a 39% to 19% margin, showing little change since last week. Other polling over the past week finds that 62% of Americans now oppose federal government bailouts for states like California that are experiencing major budget problems. On health care reform, 49% of U.S. voters now at least somewhat oppose the health plan reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, while 46% at least somewhat favor it, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. While the economy remains the top issue in importance among voters, interest in health care has rebounded from May to its highest level in recent years.
