Democrats Open Big Lead in Generic Ballot

Another interesting tidbit from the new Quinnipiac poll:

“Looking at the 2014 Congressional races, voters pick a generic Democrat over a generic
Republican candidate 43% to 34%, the widest Democratic margin measured so far.”

According to Politico, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “has privately warned House Republicans that they could lose their majority in 2014 as a result of shutting down the government.”
