Politico excerpt:

But most of the changes they have made are small. Some pollsters are hoping that since Trump isn’t running in the midterms, the problems of underestimating Republicans’ vote share will disappear with him. But others worry that Trump’s ongoing dominance of the news cycle — from the FBI seizure of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to litigation against his businesses in New York — effectively is making him the central political figure going into Election Day.  [emphasis added]

Underestimating Republicans' vote share in Kansas?  

Not with that lopsided defeat.  The pollsters blew it big-time with Value Them Both.
