The so called Democrat advantage
It seems like every election you see a headline like this one in the Washington Post:
They find that a generic Democrat wins by 20 points. What is wrong with this projection is that when you name a Democrat, voters are not so keen on their solutions to perceived problems and issues. This is not to mention polling bias that consistently overestimates Democrat strength.
The generic ballot also ignores the personal weaknesses of Democrat candidates such as Obama's association with Rev. Wright and William Ayers. This also is part of the liberal bias in this type of poll which tends to consider such associations non issues. the fact si that if voters think it is important it is an issue.
