The votes were directed at the Party.Since Harris supports the same Gaza policy as Biden she will suffer the same consequences.
Yet again,I don't believe pollsters put the same effort and resources in 500+ Congressional races as they do presidential races.
The fact that Harris is polling far lower than Hillary Clinton should tell you all that abortion is not as big an issue as you think it is. https://news.gallup.com/poll/651719/economy-important-issue-2024-presidential-vote.aspx Economy Most Important Issue to 2024 Presidential Vote October 9, 2024 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The economy ranks as the most important of 22 issues that U.S. registered voters say will influence their choice for president. It is the only issue on which a majority of voters, 52%, say the candidates’ positions on it are an “extremely important” influence on their vote. Another 38% of voters rate the economy as “very important,” which means the issue could be a significant factor to nine in 10 voters. Voters view Donald Trump as better able than Kamala Harris to handle the economy, 54% versus 45%. Trump also has an edge on perceptions of his handling of immigration (+9 percentage points) and foreign affairs (+5), while Harris is seen as better on climate change (+26), abortion (+16) and healthcare (+10). The candidates are evenly matched on voters’ impressions of who would better address gun policy.
Generic congressional polls and Senate polls were off by a huge margin but it wasn't even the polls, the results in many election swung towards Dems because of the abortion issue.
Harris is polling at 48-51 percent in most polls, Hillary was off by 5 points - how is Harris polling 'far lower'? You don't seem to understand the undecided column at all. You can have a 5 point advantage but if the undecided break towards a candidate in the end and then they can easily wipe out that 5 point advantage which is what happened in 2016.
The abortion issue didn't stop 100,000 in Michigan or 50,000 in Wisconsin from voting uncommitted or prevent Biden from having horrendous approval ratings or Harris polling lower than Obama,Clinton and Biden.
There were pollsters who were giving Republicans plus 5 and 0.3 isn't a small margin when Republicans were expecting a red wave. Also the polls that did get 2022 right were ABC and Yougov. Both of which are giving Harris 4 point advantage in 2024.
