From Rasmussen Reports:

For just the second time in more than five years of daily or weekly tracking, Republicans now lead Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 38% would choose the Democrat.

This is more a collapse of Democratic support than it is support for Republicans.  As the economy continues to struggle, the daily problems of governing (and micro-managing) a huge economy will continue to put Democrats in bad light.

Most Americans don’t follow politics and they have no sense of history. They don’t think about their own personal ideology and how that relates to support for one party or another. They get a general sense of the world around them.

I believe the United States is still a center-right country, and support for liberal policies will continue to degrade. Most Americans live by common sense and common sense says you can’t spend money you don’t have. When the inflation hits (and it will), the blame will fall squarely on the Democrats. They will have been governing for too long to blame Republicans.

Inflation will kill the Democrat’s reign.
