Democratic Party ID at Highest Levels in 7 Years

of course these always go up prior to General Elections as independents lean toward one of the two parties, but thought it was interesting nonetheless. Looks like only about .8 less than at time of Obama's victory in 2008 and 2.7% higher than at time of Obama's victory in 2012 and numbers traditionally increase as we get closer to election
