GOP Leads in Generic Ballot as Most See Nation Off Track

A new George Washington University Battleground Poll finds that 70% of likely voters nationwide feel that the country is on the wrong track. Just 21% say that the nation is headed in the right direction.

Republicans hold an edge on a generic congressional ballot, 46% to 42%. In states with a competitive U.S. Senate race, the GOP has a 16-point advantage on this generic ballot, 52% to 36%.

Said pollster Ed Goeas: “All of these measures exceed where the GOP was at this point in the 2010 cycle.”
