All of you folks who are good internet hunters, I need your help

I'm trying to find a poll done by ABC News/Washington Post about 3 or 4 days before the 1994 elections that showed Democrats leading Republicans 50%-45% in the generic ballot. If you could find it, I would appreciate it, and I think we'd all like to see it.

1. The ABC News Poll online archive only goes back to 1999.

But I've found several second hand references to the ABC polls that lead up to the 1994 midterm, and they all indicate that Republicans were leading in the generic polls, and anti-incumbency was high.

2. With gerrymandered districts, I'm not sure what the meaning of these

"generic" D vs. R numbers is unless the difference is huge.
