Republicans Low Points in CNN Poll but Still doing Better in the Generic Ballots

Un-huh...

 "WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican Party's favorable rating among Americans is at lowest level in at least a decade, according to a new national poll.
 Thirty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party, with 54 percent viewing the GOP negatively.
 According to the poll, 53 percent have a positive opinion of the Democratic Party, with 41 percent holding an unfavorable view. The survey indicates that favorable ratings for the Democrats have dropped 5 points since February, with the Republican number slipping 3 points.
 "The Republican party may still be battling the legacy left to them by George W. Bush," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "They have also spent a lot of time in 2009 working against Democratic proposals. That hasn't left them a lot of time so far this year to present a positive, post-Bush message. Of course, there is still plenty of time for them to do so before the 2010 midterms."
 Nearly seven in ten people questioned say they disapprove of how Congress is handling its job, with 29 percent saying they approve. That's a drop of 6 points in the approval since April."

 Since CNN isn't posting the demographics we can assume some "weight" not favorable to Republicans, it's their stock and trade. Nevertheless, the numbers throughout the poll don't jive.

 How can Dems have a 53 percent approval rating and - while their in charge of congress - have a 29 approval rating?  Simply not possible.

 Spike this poll.

  Republicans are still in the lead on the generic averages and gaining in local polling.
