Democrats are now 'soft favorites' to take the House, according to an analysis by University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato and his team.
The latest periodic installment of Sabato's 'Crystal Ball' newsletter handicapping congressional the elections shifts 17 House races in the direction of Democrats.
Race-by-race rankings are moving several GOP incumbents into the tossup category. Among them are Texas Rep. John Culberson, Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam, Indiana Rep. Steve Chabot, and Iowa Rep. David Young.

If they impeach, Trump isn’t through. If he is not convicted in the Senate he can pretty much ignore the House impeachment.
Personal opinion; if the Democrats somehow got 300 seats in the House and any gains in the Senate, I suspect that you would not hear the word impeachment for the next 2 years. They can’t all be as STUPID as Maxine Waters. The brighter ones have to know that impeachment and conviction due to the simple fact he stopped the coronation of the chosen queen will ignite the fires and it will be flash fires and all of them just might get burned.
Again, just a personal opinion.
The Deplorables plus the WalkAways will be out to vote.
Our awesome President Trump will be holding rallies nonstop, wanna bet?
And, it is up to all of us to get our friends and relatives out to vote. Let’s Roll!!!
A housing crash has already begun. The FED is raising interest rates. Sadly, there are those who won’t see the crap.
I just think those of us who will vote R just don’t respond to pollsters, so they are rarely accurate.
Larry Sabato and Karl rove need to move in together.
Sabato is a DNC stooge
If Sabato is calling the House for Dims, then optimism is in order since his projection of a winner is like the kiss of death.
“White House party frequently loses seats in the midterm.”

For ordinary presidents, yes. But President Trump is in a class by himself. The rules just don’t apply to him.

“The way things have been going with special elections...”

Maybe for some state assembly and state senate seats, but in regards to special elections concerning the six (6) seats in the House of Representative, the GOP won five of the six. The lone exception was the House seat in western Pennsylvania, and the democrat ran a campaign that made him sound like a pro-Trump conservative.

“...the dems are on the ground now, going door-to-door now, and fund-raising heavily now.”

Maybe so, but because they are the party now in power, the GOP has boatloads of money at the national level, far more than the democrats.
Also, fellow Freeper LS often mentions on his twitter page how Republican registration has increased substantially since the 2016 election in key battleground states, including Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and a number of others.
Also, some GOP seats that were in trouble are looking better these days.
In other words, the RATS should not start measuring for drapes just yet.
And they ave been making liar loans for 2 years now, ads on the radio everyday
When Trump releases the evidence that he has on the DNC and others, they’ll have to worry what’s left of their party.
His poll showing dems plus ten on generic is way different than all others
Inferior people should not be employed
I tweeted to him all the evidence that TRUMP was going to win & he still said Hillary would get 320+ Electoral Votes!!!
Culberson has west Houston. I know that area. He has been getting 57-62% of the vote or so in previous elections. I don't see that one as a toss-up unless something strange has happened in recent times.
They’re doing liar loans again!
Hey, OneVike, lay off on the vulgar attacks on those who simply are expressing common-sense, history-proven caution about mid-terms!
Your words are below the standards of FR.
They will be in for a SHOCKER when TRUMPsters come out in full force for President TRUMP!
Quite. Analysts are still stuck in the mindset of boring wonkery like ag bills and capital gains.
The Dems are the left and the left are the Dems. Ultimately, people vote for candidates and the supposed Dem contenders have yet to appear on any screen or web site that I’ve seen.
