There are a couple of things here that do actually affect the polling and some that do not.
Generic ballot is bull crap. It’s like saying Hillary won the national popular vote by three million, but doesn’t say that she won California, a blue state by four million. Generic ballot (Dems +6) doesn’t mean anything.
If the election were today, who would you vote for? Same crap, different way of trying to validate Generic ballot. I voted straight Republican ticket because rats are slime and I love my country. On November 9, 2016 I already knew that in this election I was voting straight Republican ticket.
Now to the blue wave. What actually defines a blue wave? 29 seats according to the pundits are in play. Rats win 23 they take congress. From what I have seen, the same pundits are saying that the rats already have 19 of them. Fact is, if the rats get their 23, it is a blue wave. Of course no one is taking into account seats rats could lose. They are only reporting on what Republicans can lose.
Finally, I submit that if the rats only get 22 and Republicans hold the house, It is still a blue wave. Just broke to early from reaching the shore.
I firmly believe that the Republicans will pick up seats, perhaps as many as twenty. My guess means nothing of course, but I sense a major slap in the face of all pollsters and the arrogant demcrats. The current breakdown in the house is 235 Republican and 193 Democrat. Therefore, I predict that it will be 255 Republican and 173 Democrat on November 7th. Of course, my prediction carries absolutely no weight, but neither do the pollsters. Screw ‘em..
