This excludes a few races (GA, NH) where the Senate polling was pretty good, but even so, Congressional polls are going to miss more than those for the presidency, maybe around 5-6 points low on the GOP vs. 3-4 for POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate polls also badly under-estimated GOP support... It wasn't unique to the Presidential race/ Trump. NEW slide… https://t.co/8C5QJQB0u3

@davidshor I know you, specifically, have done a lot of work on response rates, have looked at microdata, etc., and may have had reason to think polls would underrate Trump. I don't think that case was strong based on publicly-available info, though. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that's clearly been a problem, too, is polling in red states. In both 2018 and 2020, a lot of red-state Senate races that were projected to be close (e.g. TN, SC) just weren't. — PolitiTweet.org
