More Americans now say Republicans would do a better job with economy

The Democratic Party has lost its advantage over Republicans when it comes to handling the economy, according to a new CNN Poll:

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday indicates 48 percent of Americans say Republicans in Congress would do a better job dealing with the economy, compared to 45 percent for Democrats. That's a switch from last August, when Democrats held a 52 percent to 39 percent advantage on the economy.
