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.

Let's not overlook Barry Soetoro/Bush 4.0's never-ending wars in the middle east,either. There is a large chuck of Dim voters going to be really upset over this.

Which is really setting the stage for former Secretary of State Bubbette! Clinton and her hubby,the friend of politicians all over the world,to step in and straighten that mess out.

Hillary!! Slick!! Protect us from those KRAAAY-ZEE TeaPartiers and those Marxist Obamabots...blah blah blah.

You are right,of course.

That's why they didn't run a off-white candidate last time that can't even prove he is an American,didn't even CLAIM to be an American before he won the Dim primary,and was and is unqualified to even be a Private in the US Army.
