While many had moved towards "D" it's been shifting again. Numerically there have traditionally been more with "D" ID, they just don't always vote. Where will it be in November? Time will tell.

Number of Democrats in US Declines in July
Saturday, August 02, 2008
During July, the number of Americans who consider themselves to be Democrats fell two percentage points to 39.2%. That’s the first time since January that the number of Democrats has fallen below 41% (see history from January 2004 to present).
While the number of Democrats declined, there was virtually no change in the number of Republicans. In July, 31.6% said they were Republicans, the fourth straight month that number has been below 31.4% and 31.6%.
The Democrats now have a 7.6 percentage point advantage over the Republicans, down from a 9.5 percentage point advantage in June and 10.1 percentage points in May.
