Hillary proved that nationwide media polls are meaningless. This poll, with a small sample size skewed to democrats, is even more meaningless than most.

There are 435 congressional districts. If you want a poll that may have any predictive value, then start by polling voters in every single district.

Is it too difficult, too time consuming, to.poll in individual Congressional districts?

And is that why the feed us the generic Congressional polls?

You rarely see polls of individual Congressional districts.

correct. not only are national polls like this completely meaningless, but one doesn’t even have to poll all 435 CDs: there’s only a few dozen that are actually in play and could swing ... THOSE are the only ones that matter ...
