Default household voltage results

I had my digital volt meter hooked up to two outlets during the day. I
noticed that the voltage is normally around 114 volts. When I have my two
AC window units on it drops to about 109-112. If I then turn my microwave
on it drops to about 102-104. I tested this on two different circuits both
on different sides of the breaker panel. This voltage sounds low to me.
Is this normal or should I be seeing higher values?
