I went back to the RCP polls for 2016 and calculated they had an average rat bias of 2.68%.
If you apply the same bias to RCP current polls, you get GOP winning 227 House and 55 Senate.

Most polls underpredict conservative voters. Gingrich won the house, Bush beat Kerry, Hillary lost—every one of those underpredicted conservative voters.

I think there was one year that polls underpredicted liberal turnout. Only one though.

We’ll see what happens. If we’re going to go against history and keep the house, then it has a good chance this time cause if its gonna happen , this is the President that is a perfect fit.

The last three elections have taught us that polls are irrelevant. Yet people like talking about them.

Funny you posted this today because...

Nate put up an article on 538 today that says “Republicans Need A Systematic Polling Error To Win The House”. We will know on Tuesday.
