Breitbart: Nolte: Republicans Surge to Lead in Generic Congressional Ballot
The Republican Party has gained momentum in the generic congressional ballot, now leading by nearly a point after trailing for much of the summer. Recent polls indicate a shift, with Republicans leading in five out of seven polls, suggesting a potential advantage in the upcoming elections.
