Given a choice among four hypothetical congressional candidates, Americans are most likely to say they would vote for "a Republican who has not served in Congress." Americans who would prefer a Democratic candidate are more likely to prefer one who has served in Congress over one who has not.

Blacks, young adults, and women -- groups the Democrats are hoping will repeat their high voter turnout performance of 2008 -- are currently showing subdued interest in the 2010 midterm elections, according to a key Gallup "likely voter" question.

Voters backing Republican candidates for Congress are nearly as likely to be voting "against the Democrat" (44%) as "for the Republican" (48%). That level of negative voting against the incumbent party exceeds what Gallup found in the 1994 and 2006 midterm elections, in which party control of Congress changed hands.
