The Hill: Democrats lead their Republican rivals by 10.7 percent on the generic congressional ballot, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics average of available polling data. That mark is the highest the RCPs average has gone since just before the 2010 elections, where Republicans netted 63 House seats.
Its a gloomy sign for Republicans, and one that dovetails with President Trumps sagging approval rating to boost Democratic optimism about taking the House and raises questions about whether Republicans will be able to take advantage of Democratic weakness on the Senate map.

(4,533 posts)1. Turnout. Repub in Virginia did really well. But Dem turnout swamped them.
The Repub governor candidate got a lot more votes than the Repub got in prior election. But the Dem tidal wave drowned him. And the Trump precincts got strong Repub voting. The Trump supporters havent dumped him. They turned out strong. But it seems Trump pisses our people off motivating us to vote.

They're about to put the Senate in a tail spin by voting for one of the worst people possible.
