They just didn’t want Trump so you had House tighten up, Senate seats turned GOP (Susan Collins)

It’s tight and people might not take that chance assuming it’s close and whoops…it wasn’t close and almost everything goes Blue.

    - I could be wrong, but I think it's as realistic as anything to explain that particular set of polling misses above and beyond his own. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 17:21
- Theory is anti Trump Republicans won’t vote for him but want to put a check on Kamala by giving her a Republican Congress. -- nm - Dano Nov 2, 16:40 1
  - I think that was 2020 --- this year, the fact it's so damn close in theory, you might see a silent wave go the other way in case he wins. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 16:46
