    On June 15, CNN’s Harry Enten warned that several high-quality polls show Democrats leading the generic congressional ballot by only about 3 points, short of the benchmark set in past wave years.

    This matters because Republican-led redistricting has tilted the House map, so Democrats need a clear 3- to 4-point national edge just to win back the chamber.

      Considering most of the high-quality polls taken a few weeks ago all showed a drubbing for Rs in November, down nearly 8 points, I wonder what caused the huge shift in such a short time.

      Edit: Just checked a HQ poll from almost literally a month ago. It had Dems up +11. WTF happened to cause an 8 point swing? These smaller lead polls would’ve had to have been done during the war, so I can’t imagine that any temporary buff at the war’s “ending” factors into it.

        Ellison bought CNN, and even if it isn’t a full-fledged member of the Conservative Propaganda Machine YET, it should now be considered unreliable and untrustworthy.
