Title: Poll: GOP Takes Unprecedented Lead In House And Senate Races

Republicans lead Democrats 51% to 41% on a generic ballot heading into November's midterm election, the largest gap in favor of the GOP in Gallup's 68-year history of tracking the critical political benchmark.

The Republican lead has steadily increased from five percentage points earlier this month to the current 10 point spread, suggesting Republicans have the upper hand and momentum.

Previously, the largest GOP advantage measured by the poll, five points, was found in 2002 and 1994. Republicans made significant gains in the House both years.

"The last Gallup weekly generic ballot average before Labor Day underscores the fast-evolving conventional wisdom that the GOP is poised to make significant gains in this fall's midterm congressional elections," according to Gallup's website.

Republicans, meanwhile, are now twice as likely as Democrats to be "very" enthusiastic about voting, according to the poll. Half of Republican registered voters said they are "very" enthusiastic, compared with 28% of independents and 25% of Democrats.

The widest generic ballot lead in the poll's history was 32 points in Democrats' favor. That was measured in July 1974 before Republican President Richard Nixon resigned. In a generic ballot, pollsters ask whether voters are more likely to vote for a Republican or a Democrat for Congress. Subscribe to *Elections 2010*

So the good news is the Democrats are going to lose seats. The bad news is the Republicans are going to win them.

Should they take congress, it will certainly put the ball in their court and results will need to be realized before 2012.

Of course that isn't going to happen, which will illustrate the void in the GOP agenda and setting up President Obama for an easy re-election.

Some even speculate this is by design. I'm not ready to go there yet.

I doubt he will even be the Dim candidate in 2012. I suspect Bubbette! Clinton will be the Dim nominee. The left are going to be outraged over how Bush-like Barry Soetoro is,and the RINO's will run one of the usual suspects that nobody has ever wanted in office before,but is suddenly supposed to be the re-incarnation of Thomas Jefferson. Most likely either Huckabee or Romney. Neither stands a snowballs chance in hell of winning. The Huckster will attract a rabid crowd of snake huggers ranting about what a "Gawdly man" he is,and this will scare away everybody else. Romney would get both conservative votes in the northeast,and that's about it. NOBODY wants a president from the northeast. Not even one with Presidential Hair.

I'm not going that far out on the limb however I do believe Hillary will be on the ticket for VP.

Biden just has to go and it will be interesting to see how they push him out.
