Republicans more likely to hold House-CBS
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/commentary-...-november/

"..."If the election were held today, I'm not sure who would win the House. First time I've been able to say that since summer of last year." That tweet from RealClearPolitics numbers-cruncher Sean Trende earlier this week stunned many on the Right. Trende, like the vast majority of poll-obsessed politicos, has been writing off the GOP House majority as a political "Dead Man Walking" for months.
Not anymore.
And he's not alone. Amy Walter, national editor at Cook Political Report, agreed: "Same. Trump has had good month. Job approve slowly ticking up. Most important: Rs not fighting w/ each other, and Trump not attacking GOP leaders."...

When asked if an endorsement from Nancy Pelosi would make you more or less likely to support a candidate, 49 percent of self-identified Hillary Clinton supporters said "less." This is a problem because Pelosi and the Democrats' congressional leadership have been trying to craft tickets for November that they believe have a better chance of winning independent and cross-over Republican votes.
Democratic primary voters don't appear to be in the mood to listen. On Tuesday night, two progressive Democrats beat establishment-backed choices in swing house districts. Kara Eastman, a progressive activist who ran on a Bernie Sanders-style platform, beat former congressman and moderate Democrat Brad Ashford in Nebraska. In a swing open-seat district in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, progressive attorney Susan Wild beat the better-known—and more moderate—District Attorney John Morganelli.
Tuesday's primary results
Democratic leaders seemed to have sensed earlier on that the November election would be more competitive than once thought. They've been working to nominate candidates in the Conor Lamb model—not as liberal as the Pelosi leadership, but more electable in their district.
Progressives, however, have been energized by their anti-Trump animus and are pushing back. …"

So as I said the other day-the Democrats' anti-Trump campaign is energizing the far left and pushing them to the left.
