WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A CNN poll released Wednesday may continue the anxiety for the GOP, showing Democrats with a 14-point advantage over Republicans among registered voters asked their preferences in this year's midterm elections.

The poll, conducted for CNN by Opinion Research Corp., found that 52 percent of respondents who were registered voters said they were leaning toward voting for a Democrat, while 38 percent said they were leaning toward a Republican.

Ten percent said they didn't know how they would vote or that they would choose a candidate not from the two major parties. (Watch what is pulling down the president's approval rating -- 2:07)

Among all Americans, the poll found 50 percent leaning toward Democrats, 37 leaning toward the Republicans and 3 percent intending to vote for non-majority candidates. Ten percent had no opinion

The poll, based on telephone interviews with 1,021 adult Americans between Friday and Sunday, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. (View the poll results -- PDF)

Republicans are suffering politically, the poll suggested, because nearly half of the Americans interviewed said they think the country is on the wrong track.

Woo hoo.

Florida Young democrats is an extension of the Florida Democratic Party. This organization is dedicated to supporting young Democrats. The Florida Young Democrats believe that the future of our party depends upon actively building political, social, and business connections between Democrats aged 41 years and younger. We further believe in tolerance, inclusion, and active participation in local, regional, and state government.

The FYD has two types of chapters: County Chapters and College Chapters. Each of Florida's 67 counties will charter one County Chapter and multiple College Chapters. County Chapters will cater to young professionals between the ages of 21 and 41. College Chapters will target students in colleges, junior colleges, and high schools.

This info was taken off of the site, and I encourage all Florida democrats 41 and younger to participate. Get involved within the community! I will be joining the Volusia County chapter this fall when I attend college. If you would like to find a chapter, the website is http://www.floridayd.org/home.htm
