Well in the House, (which is the closet thing to a truly national election that we have) Republicans won it 51.6%-44.8%. That's a 17.5% Switch since 2008, where the Democrats won 53.2% to 45.6%. Senate and Gubernatorial elections are both irregular, staggered, and far more dependent on personalities, which makes them much less effective in measuring national swings. Consider that New Yorkers got to vote 4 times (House, both Senators and Governor) while Texans only got to vote twice (House and Governor).
Something worth noting though is that the Republicans only dropped about 7 Million votes from 2008, while the Democrats dropped 26 Million.
