Alan Abramowitz writes in with an analysis of National Election Study from a recent paper of his:

Average Correlations of House and Senate Votes with Presidential Job Evaluations by Decade

Decade         House.Vote      Senate.Vote
1972-1980                 .31                    .28
1982-1990                 .39                    .42
1992-2000                 .43                    .50
2002-2008                 .51                    .57

This indeed seems like strong evidence of nationalization.
