Michael, I think there are more conservatives who want Harris to be President, but want a Republican Senate to keep her in check. Certainly that is the priority of the Koch Network and other dark money PACs that are now investing huge amounts of money in various Senate races.

Imho, Democratic PACs need to match those expenditures – plus invest heavily in the Senate races in Florida, Texas and Nebraska.

That absolutely makes sense but is not supported by any polling that I’ve seen.

Actually the Texas and Florida currently polling numbers lead to that; the NE-Senate is questionable to me but others here disagree

Haha, no worries. To clarify, if the theory is that folks want a Dem Presidency but a Republican Senate we’d be seeing opposite results in the polling where Harris would be overperforming. Instead, the polling shows that there is a reasonable chance for a Republican president but Dem Congress. This doesn’t reconcile with polls showing that Harris is the predicted winner (and I’m sorry I don’t have a link to that but will try to find).

In short, it’s just one more way in which the discrepancies in the polls don’t make any sense.

Yup; we were talking about different topics; I was only pointing out that polling increasingly shows that Florida and Texas Senate are now truly competitive and that (gulp!) Nebraska Senate is now possibly being led by the independent challenger(this one I truly am doubtful at this time)

Hah, posted something similar down below but yeah, it’s approaching bizzaro world. (And please tell me there are some Adult Swim fans on here who remember how great the Bizzaro Sealab 2021 episode was)

That would make sense from their point of view.
