Imaginary Republicans Highly Preferred Over Real Ones By Americans

Josh Marshall
The congressional generic ballot is commonly seen as a good broad measure of the trend going into a congressional election. And it's painting a pretty bleak picture for the Dems. At the same time, we're seeing a decent amount of evidence for individual races where the Democrats seem to be outperforming, sometimes substantially outperforming those numbers. To put it another way, voters are liking the generic Republicans a lot better than the real ones they're seeing on the ballot.

In other news, Americans hate taxes but like functioning public services, hate work but like money, hate know-it-alls but like the fruits of knowledge, hate war but like tough talkin' bullies, and hate anybody different from them but like to brag about their individualism.
