Interesting: Final AP poll in '94 had Dems up by 7-points on congressional ballot
Advertisements [?]
From the November 5, 1994 Milwaukee Journal:

"However, 45 percent said they would personally vote Democratic, compared with 38 percent who sid Republican. This 7-point advantegae is an improvement over a statistically insignificant 1-point edge for the Democrats in an AP poll taken three weeks earlier.

Democrats seem to have made strides too in some individual races where incumbents were in trouble..."

The thing is most pundits had predicted in '94 that while the Dems would likely lose 20-25 seats in the House and maybe 5-6 senate seats--very few predicted that the GOP would win congress which they did by taking 54 House seats and 8 Senate seats.

Pundits/polls are sometimes wrong and Democrats are putting much more into GOTV than they did in '94 because they have been prepared for this. So lets not give up hope until the last vote is cast.
