Indeed you do, and I believe it may be on any leg (even the ground). In
most homes it will be a small amount, but in some homes it can be
higher. When motors from a refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, etc
come online, the DC component can increase and even modulate the specs
of some digital equipment. It can also cause transformers to hum. In
fact, PS Audio advertised an item called a 'HumBuster'
(http://www.psaudio.com/products/upchbmoreinfo.asp) that was
specifically designed to remove the DC on an AC line.
