4/ And it was mostly because Democrats did a good job of translating votes to seats. The generic ballot average was spot-on. Short version: Ds came up big in swing states and districts because the GOP ran bad candidates. D turnout was so-so but indies voted Democrat in key races. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Democrats did slightly better than expected based on polls/forecasts, but really only slightly, much less than the degree to which the GOP overperformed polls in 2016 & 2020. It was a somewhat surprising year relative to historical norms, but not relative to polls. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ There were *very* few major upsets in Senate or gubernatorial races. Katie Hobbs (AZ-GOV) was the closest and even she was only a 2:1 underdog. Hard to remember a year (OK, maybe 2012) where polling averages did so well in the most-watched contests. https://t.co/RI4Hncug2m — PolitiTweet.org
