It’s hard to tell when both parties are in a race to be the most unlikeable

What is he talking about? The Democrats lead every generic congressional ballot. They shouldn’t, but they do.

Wait dude did you watch the clip, Republicans are at minus 5...

I watched that this morning.

Minus 5 is still good, but not plus 5...

Harry was comparing previous elections of midterm Republicans where the numbers were way worse.

Why do people do this...

Red does not mean Republican

But you can bet that if the election were held today, Dems would take the House.

Everything I have seen has the GOP keeping the Senate with a slim margin.


Where do you see that?The prediction/betting markets have us losing the senate now too. No they aren't always right but more often than not they are.

No. It is not a "change over time." - the poll is a favorabilty poll just like a "do you approve of x" poll

It may be that 95% of electorate approve of Democrats and 100% approve of Republicans; 0% have favorable view of Democrats and 5% Republicans; or anything in between - just that Repubicans are up 5 points over Democrats.

Also, Republicans can be up 5 in favorability but down a lot in a generic race. Just think only 30% of electorate have a favorable view of either party and the other 70% break for an actual Democratic candidate 80-20. Democrat wins in landslide despite party being down 5 in favorability.

Interesting. I appreciate your time and effort.

I know nothing about polls. But then, I don’t care enough about the topic enough to learn.
