2014 turnout about fifty fifty, higher turnout, better for Dems

I have read betting markets predict better than polls. Predictit gives repubs one in three chance of keeping control of the house

You look at primary elections and then factor in the the variables. No outcome other than a huge democratic wave of voters. In almost all cases with early voting, democrats are way out in front as best as can be determined AND this pace is surpassing presidential years. Unheard of in democrats previous midterms. It's special due to trump....he and GOP have angered sleeping democratic base whose years of apathy have been assumed for too long. This is difficult to poll and predict.
