Dems Lead Generic Congresional Ballot Polls

Dems Lead Generic Congresional Ballot Polls

"The poll indicated that 42 percent of respondents would vote for the Democratic candidate and 36 percent would vote for the Republican candidate in their district, "if the election for Congress were held today."

Nice. Problem is you don't run against a generic candidate in a national race, you run against a REAL candidate (usually a GOP incumbent) in a REAL district (often a heavily gerrymandered district.) You don't run against "The Republicans In Congress," you run against the Local Congressman.

Generic congressional polls didn't mean diddley to Bob Rush, Julie Thomas or Dave Franker here in eastern Iowa.
