I think double predestination (to heaven and hell) is the common view. Some say that God doesn't actively elect anyone to hell, but merely passes over them. I don't see the difference.
I guess you could say that everyone believes in double predestination in one way or another. Some put more emphasis on the active part of God in it than others.

And I wouldn't say that God elects someone to hell, but rather predestines them. If I am correct, election is a reference to the person - or group, depending on the context - who is chosen by God to come to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
