It’s a poll that means nothing. We vote district by district.

For a Blue Wave the Democrats need a 10pt lead on the poll.

Not true that it’s meaningless. That’s like saying stock market trends are meaningless to certain individual stock values. The generic ballot trends are moving away from the communists, so that is a good overall indicator.

It does mean something. We ALL KNOW we vote by district. We know it. Got it. We know it.

The generic polls have been done for many decades and are a guide. If the polls are tied, the repubs should keep the House. If the repubs are behind by more than 4 or 5 points, the repubs will probably lose the House.

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.
