Historic election?

Article by legendary prognosticator Michael Barone saying the polling makes it look like this midterm could indeed be like 94.....1894 when the Republicans won 100 of 350 House seats. Some rather astonishing numbers of likely voters, saying if the voter turnout is lower (dems stay home) Republicans could win the popular vote (sorry Al Gore) by almost 20 points.

I do believe that the republicans will win their fair share of the seats in the house and probably the senate as well but I don't believe they will win a historic amount like they did in 1894 or even in 1994. I don't buy too much into the polls since they can be skewed and more than likely will change if something occurs in the weeks before an election.
