Suburban Women, Indies Turn Right

New polling indicates a change in November. WSJ:

A big shift is evident among independents, who at this point in the 2006 campaign favored Democratic control of Congress rather than Republican control, 40% to 24%. In this poll, independents favored the GOP, 38% to 30%.

Suburban women favored Democratic control four years ago by a 24-point margin. In the latest survey, they narrowly favored Republicans winning the House. A similar turnaround was seen among voters 65 and older.

And what about voters most likely to vote:

The voters who said they were most interested in the November elections favor Republican control of Congress by a 20-point margin, with 56% backing the GOP and 36% backing Democrats—the highest gap all year on that question.
The lackluster economy and uncertain outlook for jobs is the top concern. Health care remains a drag on Democrats. Despite their spin and pork-filled pandering to their own members who voted for ObamaCare, most Americans are repulsed and unconvinced. And there is majority support for more drilling offshore, tied into a recognition we need energy to fuel economic growth and get us back on our feet.
