This possibility offers reason to wonder whether Democrats are really doing as well in the midterm elections as the conventional wisdom holds. Recent polls suggest that Democrats are favored to keep control of the Senate narrowly, while losing control of the House, also narrowly.

But the Democrats’ strength in the Senate campaign depends partly on their strength in some of the same states where polls exaggerated Democratic support two years ago, including : North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.

I look at the internals of polls. Most are oversampling Democrats by a small margin and middle aged white women, who for some unknown reason tend to vote Democrat.

Polls are always wrong. It depends on how you word them for one thing. "Which Democrat would you vote for A. or B." Neither, but you aren't given that option. Like a fact check polls are opinions, modified with the person's bias. The only true poll so to speak is a rock telling you if it is raining or not.

Because conservatives have awakened and no longer participate in polls. The Republicans that do participate are of the McConnell, Romney ilk.
