Morning Consult: Generic democrat trailing in seven key senate races (flawed)

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

@PpollingNumbers can't even tell the truth about this - as mentioned upthread, the democratic incumbents were not mentioned by name. Furthermore, Hawley/Scott were not mentioned by name either, the same generic R thing as used for the other states is used in MO/FL. As much as I could use some of these findings to validate some of my current ratings, I know that generic ballot senate polls are always useless, and therefore this entire poll should be thrown out.

Casey by 1?

Lol, into the bin it goes.

WAIT THEY DIDN'T REFER TO INCUMBENTS BY NAME? Then literally what's the point?

Morning Insult strikes again.

If you look at the actual polling report these are only generic R vs D numbers. The polling twitter account should have made clear that these are GCB and not mislead people by adding names.

Of course the poll is great for republicans in deep red states if the democratic incumbents are not mentioned in the poll...
This poll ist mostly useless, maybe interesting for the change in the GCB but not much else.

Kaine by 3 lol? Total trash!

Holy hell. This poll is even worse than the one Axios released.In fact, I’m sure Mitch McConnell would laugh his ass off if he saw this.

But of course, the Trumpkins are dancing looking at these because it fits their liking.

Exactly. Remember, the same people who say "DON'T TRUST THE POLLS THEY GOT 2016 WRONG" blindly trust any R-favorable poll.

You can tell this poll is trash because the media isn't ovulating over it.

I'd love to see the questions they asked; did they do their best to not push anyone on anything? LOL

They didnt even poll dem incumbents by name, they polled "Dem. Candidate" vs "Rep. Candidate".

So these are absolutely useless

[Don Vito Corleone]

Morning Consult had Trump as only -6 in CA and +8 in NY at the beginning of his presidency. Suffice it to say, their polling should not be taken seriously by anyone.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

None of these numbers make any sense lol

Generic R only up by 6 in ND but then only down by 3 in Virginia?? Generic R should be doing way better in ND and way worse in VA

[Webnicz]

this poll is dumb here why: none of the 3 republicans in Arizona are "generic republicans" all three are radicals who have foot in mouth syndrome.

You probably shouldn't test GENERIC GOP when there are actual GOP CANDIDATES.

individual candidate quality matters. Donnelly probably trails Generic GOP but he's running against a clown car (and Mike Braun, though some dirt seems to be coming out on him).

The thing is this poll doesn't even show Donnelly trailing Generic GOP.  It shows Generic Dem trailing Generic GOP.  It's that useless.

Donnelly isn't a generic Democrat. Donnelly is unopposed in the primary. There isn't even a generic Democrat running.
