CNN Poll: Democrats up 50-46 percent in battle for House
By: CNN Political Unit

Washington (CNN) - It's one of the storylines for 2012: Can the Democrats win back control of the House of Representatives?

A new poll suggests that they may have a chance.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday, the Democrats have a four-point margin over the Republicans in the battle for control of Congress. The poll indicates that 50 percent registered voters say if the election for Congress was held today, they would vote for the Democrat in their district, with 46 percent saying they would cast a ballot for the Republican in their district. The Democrats' four-point margin is within the poll's sampling error.

The GOP won 63 seats in last year's midterm elections, taking back control of the House for the first time in four years. CNN's last poll conducted before the midterms indicated the Republicans had a six-point advantage over the Democrats.

"Now the Democrats are seeing some of their natural constituencies coming home," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "In the latest generic ballot, Democrats have a ten-point lead among women, and a nine-point lead among voters who never attended college. But the Republicans still have a plurality of the Independent voters, 47 percent to 43 percent."

One would think it would be 70-30% considering the GOP shenanigans of late...

The rest are screwing themselves.

of the population whom are not so bright.

Convincing them will always be a challenge.

as almost sane by our National media.

If we had a normal fair media, the 70-30% would be the reality....
but we don't have that, so this isn't bad...considering.

they wouldn't be getting 46%

Yes republicans are worst in control but even when democrats had full control they did absolutely nothing and only looked to excuses of republicans obstructing them as to why they couldnt get anything done. It was truly a site.

So although i want them to win back the house i strongly doubt anything will change.

Nothing indeed!

coming too.

Of course they will counter with ways to disenfranchise.
