The Washington Post used a Poll taken long before the end of the Kavanaugh hearings to make it seem like he is hurting Republicans in key districts.
New WaPo poll:
In 69 House battleground districts that are overwhelmingly held *by Republicans,* Dems lead overall by 50-46.
In 2016, these same districts favored GOP by 15 points.https://t.co/lSXM19lWCX

This is highly misleading
Greg. This poll was taken between 9/19 and 10/5 that means a significant portion was taken BEFORE the Kavanaugh hearing where you’ve seen publis sentiment shift TOWARDS the GOP. Will y’all break out numbers pre and post Kav hearing?

But you realize that almost all polling since that hearing has trended towards the GOP right? This isn’t my opinion it is based up on factual evidence. For example the 538 House prediction has gone from 80.7% dem to under 74% Dem in a week. And continues to trend downward.

The Washington Post admits what Rob is saying
Respondents completed the survey from Sept. 19 to Oct. 5, a longer field period than most political surveys, but a fairly short field period for mail-recruited surveys. The period included the final weeks of the Supreme Court nomination period for Brett M. Kavanaugh and started a few days after the publication of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when both were teenagers. A total of 3,407 registered voters across the 69 districts completed the survey.
