GOP Takes Unprecedented 10-Point Lead on Generic Ballot

Exactly how unprecedented is this GOP 10-point lead on Gallup's generic ballot; it is double the most they have ever had previous to this month.

Picture embedded below.



"The Republican leads of 6, 7, and 10 points this month are all higher than any previous midterm Republican advantage in Gallup's history of tracking the generic ballot, which dates to 1942. Prior to this year, the highest such gap was five points, measured in June 2002 and July 1994. Elections in both of these years resulted in significant Republican gains in House seats."
