Democrats fear Trump has killed off their hopes of a blue wave as they say chance of flipping the Senate is all but gone and House majority is in the balance
Democrats had hoped for a blue wave to sweep away the Republicans in the House and even flip the Senate
Now operatives in both parties say the chance to get the upper house is essentially gone after a surge in Trump's personal popularity
'It's still much closer than people think, with a surprise or two in the wings,' New York's Chuck Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, says
House majority is expected to come down to just a handful of seats rather than a landslide
Republicans are boosted by bump in President Donald Trump's popularity, Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and immigrant caravan
In the closing stretch of the 2018 campaign, the question is no longer the size of the Democratic wave. It's whether there will be a wave at all.
Top operatives in both political parties concede that Democrats' narrow path to the Senate majority has essentially disappeared, a casualty of surging Republican enthusiasm across GOP strongholds. At the same time, leading Democrats now fear the battle for the House majority will be decided by just a handful of seats.
'It's always been an inside straight, and it still is,' Democratic pollster Paul Maslin said of Democrats' outlook in the Senate, where they need to pick up two seats while holding on to several others in Republican-leaning states to seize the majority.
While the trend may be troubling for Democrats, the evolving political landscape remains unsettled two weeks before Election Day, even with millions of votes already cast across 20 states.

Which would explain the mysterious packages being sent out today!
LOLOL!!
Odd the corrupt media won’t say Republicans are boosted by a great economy, lowest unemployment ever, lower taxes, etc.
What's he planning to lie about next?
Now reality is coming home to roost, and it's "Trumps fault." Mmmkay.
Democrat Sen Feinstein Promised That If Democrats Takeover, her Border Separation Bill,
W/ 46 Democratic And Two Independent Co-Sponsors, "Will Get Passed."
Power-starved Democrats have finally reached the point of no return.
If They think Americans will accept their nonsense, they are in for a big surprise.
NAH..it’s the lie...the liars lied
yep. we all know these loons are capable of anything.
Yeah . . . I wonder if those packages were stamped “October Surprise” on the outside?????

The Dems are beyond desperate. Any trick to get a one or two percent boost in votes for House candidates to tip the scales in their favor will be done!
Nothing is definite until the election. Every last one of us must go out to vote the democrat MOB out of office!
They are desperate, and are going to try something even more outrageous. I don’t know what that will be. They have two weeks.
“Which would explain the mysterious packages being sent out today!”
Exactly my thoughts too. Must distract from the now “two” caravans of illegal.
We have sidelined their agenda. We, the voters. Our government is one which is a representative form.
Trump’s Fault,,,!!!
Totally Agree.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Desperate measures by desperate people, to gain the sympathy vote because they can't get votes any other way.
While the Democrats were counting their chickens a bit early, it isn’t the time for the Republicans to be high-fiving either. Two weeks to go and nobody knows what is in store for either party. If 2016 taught us anything it’s to be suspect of any poll regardless of source.
