Exactly, I don’t get folks obsession with generic ballot polling for congress its MEANINGLESS..

It doesn’t matter if the country is 50/50 split or even 60/40 split... its has no baring on anything.

If I have 4 districts and all have the same number of likely voters in them... but 1 district is 100% democrat. 2 districts are 70% republican and 1 district is 60% republican... and I polled across them equally for a total number count and the all voted straight party I would get a poll that says they are 50-50 split.... But come election day Republicans would win 3 out of the 4 districts handily.

I can look today at my home state of Alabama. Seven representatives. One single district is designed to be overwhelmingly Democrat....so it’s an accepted thing. The other six are designed to be just a minimum of 55 percent GOP. There’s just zero chance you can beat the other six guys unless one of them had some huge affair with a traveling circus clown. I think the same is true with both Tenn and Kentucky. Nothing is flipping throughout the south (except perhaps one district in Florida) as far as I can see. The rest might be a question mark.
