Rasmussen: Democrats Expand Lead on GOP

Rasmussen conducts phone interviews of 15,000 Americans nationwide on a monthly basis to map out "partisan trends."

The latest report for the month of April shows that Democrats widened the spread to ten points -- the largest lead of either party.

The partisan gap now shows the Democrats with a 10.0 percentage point advantage over the Republicans. That’s the largest advantage ever recorded by either party. In fact, before these past three months, the previous high was a 6.9 point percentage point edge for the Democrats in December 2006.

The 10.0 percentage point advantage for Democrats is up from a 2.1 point advantage in December.

December 2006 was just weeks after Democrats eventually won 30 seats in the House and 6 seats in the Senate.

Americans are fleeing the Republican Party in droves after seven years of the failed Bush presidency. They will not be fooled into voting for a third Bush term filled with same stale policies printed on a different letterhead.
