Joe at AMERICAblog points to electoral analysis by Charlie Cook:
In his weekly National Journal column, NBC political analyst Charlie Cook notes that by "almost every relevant measurement, national polls indicate that Republicans are at least as bad off as Democrats at this point in 1994, before suffering devastating midterm losses… On Election Day, the GOP tidal wave turned out to be a lot stronger than anticipated, and a 52-seat House gain… went into the record book. Today's national data forecast an anti-GOP tidal wave. Will it be large enough to wipe out structural advantages that benefit the Republicans?"
