Funny how Cook and Sabato just change their ratings to reflect the poll.

Not really funny at all if you think about it. It took them til this week to move VA-10 to Lean D even though it should’ve been clear since the 2017 elections that Comstock is a dead woman walking

It's always going to be about the ratings with the two of them (and others). No doubt many readers would like to read about 30+ tossups rather than only a few with control of any House decided.

Care to go on record as to which House races currently rating as tossups are already decided? (I apologize if you have done this already)

Sorry, I don't mean to say that many are decided, just rather that placing more and more races as lean/likely one way is not as appealing to readers than still seeing a large number of tossups on the last day.

Ok then, which races are placed as tossups that should really be lean/likely?

Not sure. I don't focus too heavily on House races.
