Democrats are feeling encouraged about their prospects of winning back the House next year despite a string of special election losses.

A turbulent White House has left President Trump’s approval rating at a dismal 40 percent, and Democrats ended the House session watching the ObamaCare repeal effort collapse in the Senate.

“There are a lot of reasons to think that the House will be in play next year,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball, an election handicapper at the University of Virginia.

Kondik said the single best gauge for predicting 2018 results may be the House generic ballot, which has the Democrats up between 6 and 14 points, according to recent surveys from various outlets.

“Democrats likely will need something around a double-digit lead to win control,” he said.

One caveat is it depends how districts are gerrymandered. Last election more people voted Democratic for congress yet the Republicans still maintained control.

1. Gerrymandering and the success of the purity agenda.

Those two things are very important along with what we now know will be hacked voting machines by the KGB, uh I mean GRU.

And the purity police
