Republicans looking good for November

As the primary season gets into full swing, there is good news about Republican hopes for a takeover of Congress in November, via the Los Angeles Times:

Voters said they preferred Republicans over Democrats by 46% to 45%, according to a Gallup tracking poll released Tuesday. It was the eighth week that Republican candidates matched or exceeded Democratic popularity in this type of generic ballot.

Traditionally, Republicans can expect an advantage in turnout so that if the parties are close, Republicans can expect to do better in November when control of Congress is at stake.
