Rasmussen: Record Generic Ballot Gap

Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports polling organization has new data on the famous "generic ballot" question, namely "will you vote for your district's Democratic or Republican congressional candidate?" Democrats won't like the results. Rasmussen says:

Republican candidates have jumped out to a record-setting 12-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, August 15, 2010. This is the biggest lead the GOP has held in over a decade of Rasmussen Reports surveying.

The biggest lead in over a decade. Some 48% said they'll vote for the Republican while 36% said they'll vote for the Democrat. Do you suppose President Obama will blame that on President Bush? Somehow I doubt it.
