AP poll: public swings to Democrats keeping control of Congress

You can read the details here. There's an anti-incumbent leaning that still makes the result hard to interpret.
Though msnbc buried the lede, that poll found substantially worse, lower favorable ratings, by 7 points, for the GOP than for Dems, but both parties are still apparently "upside down."
The fav / unfav ratio for gop was 30% favorable to 42% unfavorable, compared to the Democrats 37% / 42% fav / unfav.
Clearly, the anti-incumbent swell is more toxic for Republicans, even if the press hasn't figured it out.
Maybe GOP's goal of trying to block anything good from getting done will handicap them. I expect so.
The numbers are in the middle of the second paragraph of course. The story notes wryly that GM has better favorables now than either party.
