    I am very unsure about this one but I do not see a blue wave. One side will control the House by only a few votes after this. I like the Republicans chances but I would not bet on this.

    I’m not voting in this poll because the Rockets, Astros and 2016 election have made me superstitious. I haven’t been on CF much recently but wanted to check in to see what’s going on with some of the other Texas races. What is the Culbertson race looking like and for Dallas area Clutchfans what about the Sessions race? Are there Beto coattails that might change those races even if Beto doesn’t win?

    It's not looking good for a Democratic house.

    The Culberson race has been one of the most annoying in any election I can remember. You wouldn't believe the number of ads run across the region. Every commercial break was a batch of Culberson/Fletcher related ads.

    Odds are still in favor around 65% or so.

    Nate Silver tweeted that he thought his real time model was skewing to hard to Republicans, and he was going to try and adjust.

    Take a big shift to Republicans on their real time model with a grain of salt.

    Edit: robbie380 beat me to it.

    House stays republican, senate as well. Georgia and Florida governors stay republican. Pretty much all republican country.

    Don't know if it's a case of Democrats blowing it. Instead just seems the way people will vote. The big disappointment said are the obvious rotten candidates winning in Georgia and Florida. Hard to understand how the voters want that. But again, it is what it is now.

    The "own the libs" will reach massacre levels if the Democrats don't win the House.

    I find it amazing that Florida is going to elect a Governor with a platform of "Elect me because I love Trump" and nothing more.

    I’m guessing that’s the same any state with contested races. In Mn we’ve been inundated by ads regarding house races. Probably the same ads with different names as why you’ve seen

    Democrats picked up some more House Seats. I just switched to MSNBC and they called the chances for Dems to pick up the House is at 70%.
