Democrats appear confident they'll take back the House majority next Tuesday — a fact top Republican strategists all but concede privately less than a week before Election Day.
"Up until today I would have said if the election was held today we would win. Now I'm saying we will win," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday night on CBS's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Although nearly all of the competitive races remain close, conversations with several Democratic and GOP strategists, as well as public opinion polls, campaign finance reports and historic trends, all point to a strong Democratic showing in the House.
Democrats are running particularly well in suburban districts, where independents and many suburban women want to send a message of dissatisfaction to President Trump. This is having an outsize impact because many of these districts were drawn to favor the GOP and now comprise the bulk of the competitive races.
Republicans did see a slight increase in enthusiasm in the wake of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's testy confirmation hearing a month ago, but it has largely evaporated in the final weeks of the race, both Democrats and Republicans say. The exception is in more rural districts and traditionally red areas.

Every man’s worst nightmare, the tyranny of rule by the angry ex wife mob
Because...um.....Trump.
And Climate Change. And Medicare for All n’stuff.
I've never seen so many of these special elections where the local voters didn't even know there was a special election. I don't think this is a good indicator but NPR wants their wet dream to come true...
If they take the House Trump should send Paul Ryan to Gitmo as an enemy combatant. It is because of the Chamber’s puppet Ryan that the GOP Congress stopped the border wall that was the #1 reason Trump got elected.
Exactly
These no nothings are going to be butt hurt bad
No mention of the fact that the Demonrats POURED money into the special elections.
Take away their public tax payer funding!!!
“Democrats appear confident they’ll take back the House majority next Tuesday — a fact top Republican strategists all but concede privately less than a week before Election Day.”
Who are these supposed “top Republican strategists”?
And why are they telling NPR, the media and the Democrats that the candidates they are supposedly working for are certain to lose?
If Dems don’t take the House, they will scream and cry that the election was rigged and Trump was behind it. It’s their only trick left.
This time the dead and illegals won’t make a difference.
The Republicans will keep the House, gain 4 seats in the Senate and Gillum will lose in FL.

From 2016: Overall, according to the Cook Political Report, Democrats would pick up five to seven Senate seats, and Clinton would likely turn at least a couple of red states blue in the presidential race. At one point this summer, there was even speculation that states as deep red as Texas and Arizona could go blue.
