1994 election

It was more difficult to find polling prior to the 1994 election, which saw Republicans pick up 54 seats in the House and made the GOP the majority party for the first time since 1952.

Three ABC polls in the final weeks of the 1994 election which showed the Democrats ahead by 4 or 5 percentage points:

11/6/94: 47-42

10/31/94: 48-44

10/23/94: 50-45

Gallup found between March and October 1994 that the advantage went back and forth between the two parties, and was close near the end. Twice in the final weeks, it was dead even.
