Yeah, I seem to recall similar numbers in 1994, a few points. Somebody must have the charts on the net.
Democrats are usually up by 8-10 points and then they barely win.
The 94 polls were really close and the Dems were bloodied. If the 9-point edge is maintained, it will be a bloodbath of historic proportions.
It seems like Democrat is the default party in America, everyone is assumed to be one unless they state otherwise.
