New AP-Ipsos Poll: Advantage Dems

The AP-Ipsos poll conducted earlier this week gives Democrats the advantage in November.

81 percent of self-described liberals said they would vote for the Democrat. Among moderates, though, 56 percent backed a Democrat in their district and (almost shocking!) nearly a quarter of conservatives — 24 percent — said they will vote Democratic.

Only 1000 people were surveyed and I don't know the geographic distribution. Because Republicans have so successfully manipulated congressional districts, a poll like this doesn't tell us very much about who will actually win.

It's still good to hear that a quarter of conservatives are willing to admit they've been wrong.
