The Generic Ballot In '94....
A trip through The Hotline archives for the weekend before the '94 election shows the generic ballot as follows:
ABC: --- 47-46 in favor of the Dems (a 6-point swing in the last week toward the Dems)
Gallup: --- 51-44 for the GOP (a 4 point swing in the last week toward the Dems)
NBC: --- 46-35 for the GOP (a 2 point swing in the two weeks toward the Dems)
Times Mirror: --- 48-43 for the GOP (a 7 point swing in the last month toward the Dems)
While this may come across as DNC talking points, it's worth noting as folks chatter all day about the meaning of today's Pew, Gallup and ABC generic ballot closings. [CHUCK TODD]
