Generic Ballot Favors Dems (Thanks To Women Voters)

This is the latest poll showing how voters would vote for Congress (if the election was now). It is the Public Policy Polling survey -- done between February 9th and 11th of a random national sample of 687 registered voters, with a margin of error of 3.7 points.

The poll shows that Democrats currently hold an 8 point advantage (49% to 41%). Perhaps the most important is the gender gap, which significantly favors Democrats. While men favor Republicans by a 3 point margin, women favor Democrats by a whopping 17 point margin. That could be even worse, considering the fact that women vote in larger numbers than men do. And the proliferation of misogynists, abusers, and wife-beaters in the White House is certainly not going to help Republicans.

It's still looking like we could have a wave election in November -- an election that would flip one or both houses of Congress to the control by Democrats.
