However, four years ago, the democrats' popularity was at an all-time high. It seems reasonable to guess that their popularity will be less than that this time.
In most polls, movement toward the Republicans from 2008 is manifested in the fact that independents have swung strongly toward the Republicans this cycle. In polls by Gallup and Rasmussen, that is still true, but they also believe that there will be fewer people identifying as Democrats (representing the diminished popularity from 2008).
