New Poll Shows GOP Widening Midterm Edge Over Democrats

A 13-point shift in public opinion over the past two months gives Republicans an edge over Democrats heading into the 2014 midterm elections, according to a new poll -- and the advantage for the GOP appears to be widening.

The CNN/ORC International survey showed 49 percent support for a generic Republican, compared with 44 percent for a Democrat. That's a better result for Republicans than last month, when the same share of people picked Republicans but 47 percent favored Democrats.

The new poll shows a dramatic shift from two months ago, when 50 percent of people supported Democrats, compared with 42 percent who chose Republicans.
