The same poll claimed that Hillary led Trump by 11 points in Mid-October, and would get almost 330 electoral votes.

The NBC/WSJ one completed 19 Sept shows D+8. Not sure what CNBC idiots are smoking.
A poll? I remember those things.
No wonder this slanted POS article is so inaccurate.. John Harwood is the writer.
Harwood is CNBCs answer to Eugene Robinson and EJ Dionne. Hes to be ignored.
Just saying this is subject to swamp juices
If this is true, then maybe CNBC can answer this:
Name a congressional district that voted Republican in 2016, that is now so angry at President Trump that they will flip and vote Democrat in 2018.
For the life of me, I can’t think of one.
There will be no Blue Wave.
Ignore polls.
Just get out and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry pollsters, but you are either dreaming or lying. The voters are not giving you anything truthful, just like you do t give us anything truthful.
If the GOP doesnt conform Kavanaugh, it will depress the GOP vote and embolden the Dem base.
Please oh please let there be a blue wave.
I’ll bet they didn’t ask the Lord.

You will notice that every single poll in September (apart from 2 in the first week of September), had the Dems ahead by anywhere from 1 to 7 points. For October, the polls had the Dems ahead in every single poll by from 1 to 10 points.
What happened in the end? Republicans comfortably held The House.
Lesson? Ignore all these suppression polls from the corrupt media and make sure you and every a Republican you know go and vote.
Generic Democrat always wins every race by 12 points. The real ones lose the same races by five points. :)
Assume this is a real poll and cajole every American Conservative you know to get out and canvass. And don’t forget to vote!
The problem with this polling is that they tend to co-mingle the results nationwide. It may be true that in the aggregate, the Democrats are ahead by 12 points. But when you remember that we have 435 different races, the “wipeout” may not exist. Out here in the Bay Area, I don’t think there are ANY Republicans running for the 7 or 8 seats in the November ballot. So, of course, the polling here would show 100%-0% for the Dems, since there’s nobody on the other side, generic or not.
This is also why the polls in 2016 were so bad. The 5 million illegal votes that Hillary got in California meant nothing. She got the 55 Electoral votes whether she won by 5,000,000 or 537 votes.
But the LIV out there don’t realize this, so they believe these silly polls and may wake up on November 7th “horrified” that the Republicans still hold both the House and the Senate.
Lots of folk are coming up with 100 ways this polling is wrong. Thats fine.
But I lived in a state where my vote counted, I would be sure to drag everyone I knew to the election.
These polls are coming out now to further depress our side. Stay strong and do not let them make you think they are winning.

GOP will see increase in both houses!
This is a joke poll.
Just about everyone is cheesed about the mistreatment of Kavenaugh. Dems will pay big for this clown show.
.
Harwood? More like “Rotten Wood”, “Peckered Wood” or “Termite-Eaten Wood”.
His credibility died many years ago but his stench lives on.
Yup. I laughed when I read the title because I was reminded of Steve Kornacki all excited in that YouTube video claiming Hillary was going to win in an epic blowout. These mainstream media leftists must think we have very short memories.
No games. Just vote.
On November 6!
