Here's the Senate link, I'll put the House report in the first comment
The model is also ... surprisingly (to me, anyway) bullish on Beto in Texas. It has Cruz favored, but it's a real race. It's bearish on Bredesen in Tennessee, by contrast, although that's obviously a real race too. https://t.co/RyBW14wi8D
One other arcane forecasting note: Our model accounts for scandals based on @baseballot's scandal database, and we've now updated it to account for scandals from *previous* election cycles. Previously, it only accounted for *new* scandals. However (cont) https://t.co/sRTaNMQx1s
I noted this analytic twitter thread about the election in general by the AP's "western political" reporter because it was "liked" by Alex Burns & Maggie Haberman of the NYT, whom I follow on twitter
Anti-Trump conservatives don't see it this way, but D voters thought Clinton was the compromise candidate who could attract conservatives to the center. Since that didn't work out, they're looking left instead. https://t.co/R2JtBfl5mo
The thing is, Democrats have so much exposure that they're really playing whack-a-mole in the Senate. Fox came out with relatively good numbers for them in Missouri and Arizona. But! They have Heitkamp down in ND and Donnelly a tick behind in Indiana.
I'm skeptical that Obama's presence on the trail will make much of a difference. This election is all about one person: Donald J. Trump. No one can, or will, overshadow him. https://t.co/WdT1nE5SBN
It's a real thing and it's a mystery to me why I don't see more GOP campaigns claiming they are responsible for it and saying that the Dems will kill it, even tho Obama could claim ownership:
The reluctance comes from shaking pom poms at the results of a crack high.
The economy received stimulus high in the market.
It doesn't get more anti-Keynes than that.

I too swear by 538 .Including as either stated or implied by them today
o elections get decided in September
o the current polls were taken in August
o even so its safe to predict democrats will win the popular vote in November by at least by 5%
o but to take over the House takes a number higher than that.
Which suggests to me , maybe by Columbus Day we'll know

Dems betting on the bubble effect of tribalism, those GOP with wise counsel will try to work against that:

p.s. right after in my feed, indications of no bottom of bubble delusions for this tribe?
