From Rasmussen:
Republican candidates now hold a 10-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, July 25, the widest gap between the two parties in several weeks.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% of Likely Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent…
Don’t get cocky, Republicans – we’re not called the stupid party for nothing, you know. If there is a political party which can blow this sort of advantage in a mere three months, we’re it.
But, all in all, for anyone who has observed politics over a long period of time, for the GOP to hold a ten point advantage in the generic ballot is astounding. Clearly, the Democrat brand has collapsed – all the GOP needs to do is come up with a winning message for the fall.
Anti-Democrat sentiment will carry us far – perhaps even to a narrow House majority; but to really put this away and set us up to beat Obama in 2012 (which will be the hardest task we, as a party, have faced in the past 100 years), we need to offer a compelling vision for the American people. Rote statements about tax cuts and spending restraint won’t do it – we need tap in to the revolutionary ferment of the American people.
We need bold proposals to radically cut spending – naming the programs we’ll cut, with the short, sweet rationale for such cuts immediately ready. We need to firmly come down in favor of strict border security. We need to offer hope for people crushed by the housing collapse. We need to pledge war to the knife with the purveyors of financial chicanery both in Wall Street and DC. We craft this message, and the sky is the limit for us.
