Democrats will make gains in the House, but I don't think 40-50 seats is realistic. Currently the 242nd most Democratic district is an R+5 district. Picking up R+5 districts with entrenched incumbents is going to be extremely hard, even with an extremely unpopular president. In 2010 the 242nd most Republican seat was a seat with an even Cook PVI. The Democrats are at an enormous institutional disadvantage.
