More Republican-Friendly Polling

Things are still looking good for Republicans in the upcoming 2010 elections, with Gallup's latest poll showing independent voters breaking 45% to 35% for Republicans and Democrats, respectively. The independent voting block is key to winning races, because Gallup's other polls show the number of Americans who identify themselves as Republican or Democratic at a solid tie. With even numbers of R's and D's, the Independents will make the difference.
