Democrats have consistently led on the generic ballot polls...

... so they'll pick up seats the only question is how many. My bet would be enough to take the senate but not enough to get the super-majority (60) nor enough to retain control after the 2018 midterms. 51-52 seats. |
I think they end up getting control as well but 538 had a piece on the down ballot voting where as Clinton has increased here lead over the past 10-14 days significantly, the Senate races have actually gotten closer. Close enough to not allow the Dems to pick up enough seats? Not likely but it may be closer than everyone assumes.
