A political analyst updated his outlook for the House just days before midterm elections, giving the Democrats an even greater edge over Republicans hoping to maintain power.

Dave Wasserman, who is House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, tweeted Wednesday that their forecast was being updated, predicting that Democrats gain 30-40 seats, up from 25-35 seats.

How did they do on the house call? I’ve looked and can’t find it.

The Cook Report is over baked.

Drudge has this Cook poll as a banner headline.

Drudge is far too excited about the possibility of the Democrat/Left tying up President Trump with more and more investigations.

Very disappointing.

Charlie Cook is about as “non-partisan” as Chuck Schumer.

Blue Wave is their hill and they are dying on it.

The dems have found a way to cheat. That’s my interpretation.

Do not be discouraged. Get out the vote. Take a neighbor.

Yup, did that! Republicans that sit at home elect Democrats.

Here is Charlie’s gobbledygook explanation of the 2016 election polls. It smells of desperation and excuse making. This guy is beyond stupid.

I think I’ll bet on the 2% chance the GOP gains in the House.

Where does Cook come up with this stuff? I saw a report yesterday from an outfit dated in March that indicated there would be no Blue Wave at all because of how the Republican districts were done and this was in March before anything had happened.

Cook and Nate Silver are woefully out of date and very over optimistic. Even if the house changed we are talking about flipping 10 or 15 seats. I can't see how the Democrats pick up 40 to 60 seats.

Maybe. But if they do their full colors will be exposed. Just think: Nancy, Adam, Mad Max, etc. By 2020 the Dem party will be totally destroyed because of the damage they will cause. I don’t see anything good coming from them except more TDS. The country will explode with deplorables.

The Cook Report is non-partisan?

It and polls were embarrassingly off in the last two election cycles and early voting suggests the same will be true this election.
