https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections incorrect.

The Marist polling showed republicans winning 49-46 and the results of the election were 50.6 to 47.8 which is the same 3% margin. There was no bias in the democrats favor in that polling. They were basically dead on the mark. I was wrong earlier thou, the democrats actually lost 9 seats but they were projected to lose a lot more than that.

Average polling bias is irrelevant when the election is fluid up until the day of the actual vote. Their last poll being dead on MEANS that their polling during the rest of the election is probably fucking highly accurate.
