Writing in U.S. News & World Report, the always-interesting Michael Barone analyzes the results of two polls - Rasmussen and NPR - which show the Republicans even with or leading in the generic ballot. The generic ballot is where you ask voters a question like "If the Congressional election were tomorrow, would you prefer to vote for a Republican or a Democrat to represent your district?"
I wish the pollsters could have asked the next obvious question: "Is your vote motivated primarily by a desire to move Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi off the national stage?"
