Even in areas where dem candidates poll as being more popular, far far fewer of their supporters have any enthusiasm about voting for them. Same thing cratered republicans in ’08 and ’09. It wasn’t that folks who voted republican before switch to voting dem, they just stayed home because they didn’t like either candidate enough to bother.

Right now even dem supporters are so frustrated and angry with the dems over the last 2 years, they really don’t like the dem candidates enough to vote for them, even if they dislike the republicans a bit more.

So calm pollsters, who’ve been at this a long time, are saying they could be grossly underestimating the republican win. This is being taken seriously enough, that dem party folks are transferring money into campaigning in “completely safe” districts.
