Media -- According to a new Gallup poll, the GOP
continues to lead among likely voters on a generic
congressional ballot.
Republicans hold a 5 percent lead among registered voters and a lead among
likely voters of 11 points or 17 points, depending on the turnout model.
Among
registered voters, the GOP lead has increased 2 percentage points in
just the last week, jumping to a 48-to-43 percent margin.
If turnout is typical — about 40 percent — Gallup gauges that
Republicans hold a lead of 17 percentage points. If turnout is higher
than normal, the GOP has an 11 percent lead.
The data comes from two Gallup surveys conducted Oct. 7-10 and Oct.
14-17 that polled 2,700 registered voters, including 1,900 likely
voters, nationwide. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage
points. Add
