A Republican Controlled Congress?

A new Gallup poll shows the Republicans surging ahead in the battle to control Congress. In a "generic ballot," where voters are asked which party they would vote for in their congressional district, likely voters now prefer Republicans 50% to 45%. Despite only 18% approval ratings for the Democratic controlled congress, the Dems had big leads until recently. If these poll results play out in the election, the Republicans probably take back Congress.
