To the question "if the congressional election were held today, would you vote for the Democratic candidate in your district or the Republican candidate?", the margin of 13.4 percent that showed Democrats ahead six months ago, has now increased to some 18 percent in some polls. And surveys have been showing a considerable Democratic advantage for more than a year and are in line with other questions testing the mood of the electorate like presidential and congressional job approval ratings and right direction/wrong track numbers.

The average approval rating for Congress is even smaller - 29.6 percent and its disapproval is 62.3 percent.
