2. On the other end, the media presents a lot of polls showing low Dem approval. I think those are misleading.

I believe a lot of that is just reflecting, justified or not, a desire for Dems to fix this and disappointment that so many things keep getting worse.

I don't think that is a reflection of preference between the two parties. I'd really like to see some kind of simple generic poll measuring something like: In a generic race between a Republican and a Democratic, which candidate would you vote for?

Taken together with the "enthusiasm" numbers referenced in the OP I think we'd get a different picture.
