UPDATE: Yesterday, Gallup released a poll showing Democrats leading Republicans in a generic ballot. The results were a reversal from just a month ago. Now the Quinnipiac poll shows just the opposite result — Republicans leading Democrats — and also reflects a reversal from a month ago. What gives? The polls agree that Republicans lead among independent voters.

PREVIOUS POST: In a significant turn-around, a new Gallup poll shows Democrats have a six-point lead over Republicans on a generic national ballot for November’s election. That is, if offered the choice between a generic Democrat and a generic Republican, 49 percent of voters would choose the Democrat and 43 percent would choose the Republican. Only a month ago, the poll showed the exact opposite — Republicans were six points ahead, said Gallup. The Republican lead among independent voters during the same period has dropped from 14 percent to just four percent.
