Sorry, not done yet.

But here’s something you can do for your own sanity....

Go to RealClearPolitics.com and look at their House map and all their “toss-ups”.

Click on all the Republican ones, and anyone you see that’s D+3 RCP average or LESS, consider it a Solid R lean.

They use NYT/Sienna and Monmouth polls for almost all these, and every single one of them has a ridiculous +Dem skew of +5 to +10, with only like 800-1200 of 40,000-50,000 people answering calls.

These are the most absurd polls I’ve ever seen.

A Republican incumbent that won his race by +15.0, in a district that Trump won by +8.0, they are showing as a +3.0 Dem in the NYT poll, for instance, and are calling this a “toss-up” as a result.

And more than half of their 40 toss-ups are just like this.

These NYT and Monmouth polls are beyond biased and full of shite. They are doing exactly what they did in 2016. Asinine +Dem skews, super low sampling turnout, and they are not just ignoring the silent/secret Trump voter, but they are trying to insist to us that Independents are mostly leaning Dem and that the youth vote will come out strong on Tuesday.

None of that is true, and the polls are crap.

Rule of thumb at this point, take any poll you see on RCP and add +5R/-5D and it’ll be significantly more accurate.

At this moment, I’ll be extremely surprised if Dems end up with more then a +15 net in the House, and I firmly believe it will be a +10 or even slightly less.

It's going to be fun to see you exposed as a fraud tomorrow night.

Though I'm sure you have some hand-waving explanation for the fools to explain how your incredibly wrong take was right, except for those pesky kids!

Likewise, you.

Have you been right about anything you've ever posted on here?

Unfortunately I think Dems end up taking a 5-7 seat majority in the house but Rs gain at least 2 in Senate. Hope I’m wrong about the house.

It's kind of a bellweather for the insanity in the country.

It's not really going to matter. They can't do anything. Maybe they'll stop crying for the next two years though.

I’m puting together a couple spreadsheets detailing every toss-up race with statistics and some commentary on each one. I’m almost done and will make a thread and post them some time tomorrow.

You’re going to be surprised by what it shows.

Dems are not taking the House.



I look forward to seeing this

From what I can see so far, Dems net +7 to +15 House seats, and lose -4 to -9 



I see net house gain by dems of 32. I'm using tea leaves though.

I expect the same.

The only thing making me unsure the Dems take the house is I was pretty fricking in Nov 2016 Trump was going to lose also.

I spent a lot of Election Night 2016 watching MAC football on ESPN.

It worked once, why not try it again?

Only being saying all of that since the night of the election.

Going to be a mess for the next two years with Russian hearings and impeachment.

I said this about a week ago.

I think the House goes Dem..........Senate stays Rep.

I'm fine with that. We still get our Supreme court pics if they come up........and, Dems really can't do jack shite but bluster

I would normally agree that I prefer gridlock but we are going to have 2 years of the House chasing after Russians and filing articles of impeachment 6 months out from the election.
