JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): The Senate polls were over-weighted Republican, but if you look at the generic congressional ballot, they had it at Republicans plus 2.5 percent, and it ended up being Republicans plus 6 percent. Republicans are winning 52-46. That's a six-point margin. No one had that. They're winning by more than 6 million votes. Nationally. So that's a red wave, actually, but because of the way it is gerrymandered, you're not going to get a lot of toss ups in seats that are up for grabs.
