You can't judge a general election result by gauging the primaries. The primaries are largely just partisan results of that one party; except for some of the mischievous crossover votes in states that allow it like NJ.
I think your following post of looking at the approval rating of Congress and also taking the verified voter polling data supplied by reputable organizations that collect them will give you a better indication of the mindset of the November voter.
