Democrats Losing Ground to GOP in Congressional Candidate Polls

Thanks to Obamacare disaster

A day after releasing brutal poll numbers for President Barack Obama, Quinnipiac University released another poll with very bad news for congressional Democrats.

A little more than a month after the polling firm found Democrats with a huge 9-point advantage (43/34) just before the tumultuous government shutdown, Republicans have gained ground and are now tied (39/39) in the generic congressional ballot.

Quinnipiac saw big swing from independent voters compared to the poll they released on October 1. The latest poll found Republicans with an 11-point advantage (37/26) over Democrats with independents. In October, the Democrats had a 2-point lead (32/30) over Republicans with this important voting bloc.
