Not wrong. I never said anything about generic polls. I spoke only about approval ratings which should, if generic polls really matter, have meant incumbents were in huge trouble.
The fact is, Republicans were also behind in the individual polls of the races they lost, and only individual polls matter. These generic polls as well as approval polls don’t mean squat. Each race is decided only in their district. And until the individual district polls show people dissatisfied with their congressman, we’re delusional if we think this kind of poll matters.
You just did..again.
Make up your mind already.
Are you speaking about generic pols or you are not speaking about generic polls?
Of course generic congressional polls mean a heck of a lot more than “squat” as you put keep putting it. When republicans are behind in generic congressional pols, they lose seats in the congressional elections. When they are ahead in the generic congressional polls, the GAIN seats. It's that simple.
“Each race is decided only in their district”
It's the very individual district polls that contribute to one party being ahead or behind in the generic polls. They are linked to each other. You can't have a situation where one party is ahead in the generic poll, and behind in more districts than the other party in the individual districts. It's funny how you guys tout the generic polls when you are head, but then poo poo the same generuc polls when you fall behind
