Douglas E. Schoen and Patrick H. Caddell write this and more in the Wall Street Journal:
"Given the general climate of disaffection and mistrust with Democrats and Republicans alike, it's clear that the Republican Party's greatest asset right now is that elections are binary choices and voters tend to turn against incumbents. Put simply, the Republicans are winning support because they are not Democrats. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of those who favored Republican control of Congress in the May Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll said they were motivated by opposition to Mr. Obama and Democratic policies, while less than one-third (31%) of those who favored Republican control said they support the GOP and its candidates."
