And, according to three new national polls released over the last 24 hours, the answer to that is: A very, very good election. A new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday showed Democrats with a 52% to 38% edge on the generic ballot question. An NPR/Marist poll showed a similar 12-point margin on the generic ballot. Historically, the generic ballot is regarded as a weathervane that, generally speaking, predicts which direction the wind is blowing -- and how hard -- in the national environment. While Democrats regularly enjoy a small edge in the generic ballot, double-digit leads for Democrats usually predict major seat swings.
