Seth Moskowitz writes that the generic congressional ballot polling average “is the best tool for forecasting the House popular vote, and is especially useful in cycles without presidential races atop the ballot.”
“From 2004 to 2020, a 1% increase in a party’s share of the generic ballot has translated to an average 0.87% bump in the House popular vote.”
