Although the only metric that matters is the actual vote. And there is reason to suspect the other metrics may not play as much of a role as the historically have.

Not going to vote Republican and they’re not watching those commercials and are pissed. And they are not being polled either.

Polls really don’t mean a lot anymore, not like they used to. Their results have been sketchy at best the last 3 election cycles

A more recent example..Kansas! The ballet referendum was suppose to pass by a safe margin. They lost by 20+ points.

They're focusing on competitive seats where Democrats are vulnerable.

Meanwhile, Democrats are giving huge amounts to Marcus Flowers, who will lose to Marjorie Taylor Green.
