With the midterm elections less than three months away, the pollster odds are starting to roll in.
The pollsters at FiveThirtyEight give the Dems a 75 percent chance of re-taking the House:
Each bar on the histogram represents a possible breakdown of seats within the House the day after Election Day. The bar's location represents how many seats Ds or Rs have in a given scenario. The height represents the likelihood of each scenario occurring. https://t.co/AEp9HGgdYi pic.twitter.com/YSqRGYHucY

Anybody who uses pollster predictions as a basis for whether they’ll bother to go vote or not hasn’t been paying attention.
