Those aren't individual polls.....More Democrats voted for House Reps than Republicans......because of gerrymandering the generic poll doesn't mean much.

If 100% of people support Dems in a Democratic district, then the poll is skewed.

And the turnout numbers so far are much higher than in 2014 or other off year elections.

11. +1, especially national level polls. State level polling should be made to answer for their misses
