Democrats Open Big Lead in Generic Ballot [View all]

Democrats Open Big Lead in Generic Ballot
Another interesting tidbit from the new Quinnipiac poll:

"Looking at the 2014 Congressional races, voters pick a generic Democrat over a generic Republican candidate 43% to 34%, the widest Democratic margin measured so far."

According to Politico, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) "has privately warned House Republicans that they could lose their majority in 2014 as a result of shutting down the government."
