Wow, look at the Republicans surging in the generic ballot: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-generic-ballot-polls/

Morning Consult and Reuters/Ipsos both have substantial swings to Republicans.
Looks like tax reform + democratic sexual misconduct scandals has payed off.

Both of these polls were done before tax reform was even finished. Stop pooping your pants over every little thing. You can't have that many fresh underwear to replace your soiled drawers.

LL is always suspiciously silent when Democrats surge ahead into double digits in the generic poll averages, but johnny-on-the-spot with the doom and glooming when the polling sugar high wears off.

When you spend all your time on a prediction site and then get the result wrong by 12 points. I don't think this guy can even predict what he's going to eat for lunch, never mind a US election prediction.

From looking over www.politics1.com, the Democrats now have candidates in 219 of the 239 Republican held Congressional districts (leaving out the districts in Ohio and Pennsylvania with Republicans who have recently resigned/will resign.)

The site seems to be missing Rex Berry running for the Democrats in the Oklahoma 1st Congressional District.

[136or142]

These are the only districts left with no announced Democratic candidates (in brackets are the Republican House members)
1.Alabama 1, (Bradley Byrne)
2.Idaho 2, (Mike Simpson)
3.Kansas 1, (Roger Marshall)
4.Kentucky 5, (Hal Rogers)
5.Louisiana 1, (Steve Scalise)
6.Louisiana 4, (Mike Johnson)
7.Louisiana 5, (Ralph Abraham)
8.Michigan 10, (Paul Mitchell)
9.Mississippi 3, (Gregg Harper)
10.Missouri 3, (Blaine Luetkemeyer)
11.North Carolina 3, (Walter Jones)
12.North Carolina 8, (Richard Hudson)
13.Ohio 6, (Bill Johnson)
14.Ohio 8, (Warren Davidson)
15.Oklahoma 3, (Frank Lucas)
16.Tennessee 6, Open Seat
17.Utah 1, (Rob Bishop)
18.Utah 3, (John Curtis) But, special election just held there. Kathryn Allen listed as a potential candidate.
19.Wisconsin 7 (Sean Duffy) Barb Linton is listed as a potential candidate.
20.Wyoming, (Liz Cheney)

Safe R. Still good to have insurance in case another Moore-esque situation comes up, though.
