Generic Congressional Ballot - Rasmussen Reports?
The GOP has now tightened its 6-7 point deficit in the generic congressional ballot to just 2 points. Liberals, you can say Rasmussen is biased, but clearly, there is a significant trend.
Even more important for 2014, Obama's approval rating is at 41.4% now as an average of ALL the polls. In fact, Rasmussen was one of the MOST FRIENDLY polls to Obama, indicating that if anything, the GOP likely already in the lead for the GOP congressional ballot (Rasmussen likely re-calibrated their polling to make it more Democrat-friendly after the 2012 debacle).

In addition, here were the 3 generic congressional ballot polls that were at this point in 2009(Source: RealClearPolitics - Election Other - 2010 Generic Congressional Vote)
Democracy Corps (D) 11/12 - 11/16 875 LV 45 47 Democrats +2
CNN/Opinion Research 11/13 - 11/15 928 RV 43 49 Democrats +6
PPP (D) 11/13 - 11/15 1066 RV 38 46 Democrats +8
The Democrats were LEADING the Generic Congressional Ballot about this time in 2009, and the GOP had one of the biggest Congressional victories since the 1940's.
EDIT: Clearly, the GOP is going to have a very, very strong election in 2014.
