Can someone give me an example of an election where this wasn’t the prediction? Seriously, just one election where the story wasn’t “Republicans looking at disaster” or some related theme? One election where GOP defeat wasn’t reflected in the polls or success underestimated?

The only one’s I can think of is Reagan’s re-election and Bush Sr’s first election, they had him losing for most of the campaign.

I say this. If the economy is booming, how do the democrats make the case that ending this policies is a good thing?

But these are final predictions November 2014, but I know we were very confident in early 2014.
