Due to the way populations occur in the country, with Democrat strength mostly concentrated in small urban enclaves, anything from a Dem plus four generic ballot down demonstrates that the Republicans will take the house. Rep plus one indicates that the Democrats will suffer huge losses in the House with the Senate likely flipping. That being said, I think almost all the polls are once again understating Republican strength, a few intentionally, but most simply because Republicans are harder to contact due to rapidly changing technology, and are much less likely to be willing to talk to a pollster in any case. Democrat efforts to demonize Republicans since 2020 have merely increased this reluctance.

We’ve been getting robo call requests for political survey at least once a week. On answering I feel a guttural rage rise in my throat combined with a compulsion to voice get-off-my-lawn. My controlled response is always the same. “Click.”
While I’m positive that the GOP will take back the House, I’m worried about the Senate. I’ve never voted for Trump (or Biden or Hillary), but I absolutely believe the 2020 election was stolen, and frankly, I also think that both those Georgia Senate races were stolen. (That being said, Loeffler was a garbage-tier candidate.)
The goal should be to win by a big enough margin that the Democrats can’t steal anything. But I have little doubt that Biden “won” Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nebraska’s second, and possibly Nevada through fraudulent means.
I think the generic poll is worthless. There are congressional districts…more of them Democrat than Republican…that would vote for a tree stump if it were listed on the ballot.
