From Rasmussen Reports on Monday, June 7, 2010.

Republican candidates now hold a nine-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, June 6. That’s up slightly from a week ago and broadly consistent with weekly results from the past year.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 35% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent. Support for GOP candidates held steady from last week, while support for Democrats is down two points.
