Nate keeps UPPING the chance of a Dem house. With a plausible scenario of Dems +40 to +50 House seats.

Also, he has McCaskill favored in Missouri, Donnelly a 2-1 favorite, Kyrsten Sinema a strong favorite, Menendez a bigger favorite than Kevin Cramer in North Dakota who has been up double digits.

It seems to me that John Hanoi Kerry was favored to win and the media made up some numbers that they said he was ahead which caused about 35,000 GOP voters to stay home. The demonicRATS are desperate.

Can’t count on defying the polls and the odds every time. Trump was a 1 in a million shot.

Don’t forget about how Al Gore was supposed to win as well. When he lost the GWB the idiot the Democrats lost their frickin’ minds.

At 28.6%, he gave Trump a far higher possibility of winning than every other pollster. He was also the only one who predicted that Trump could win the electoral college without winning the popular vote.

He is also currently predicting an 82.3% chance that Republicans keep the Senate.

So no, I wouldn't panic, but I would put more stock in Nate Silver than in a lot of other pundits.
