Next time you hear "What happened to the wave??," keep in mind:
1) Trump's %s w/ college+ women are still horrendous
2) Rs have ticked up in areas Trump surged in '16, but not in the bulk of suburban CDs that will decide House
3) 23+ seats (still consensus forecast) *is* a wave— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) October 25, 2018
In Virginia, incumbent Rep. Barbara Comstock first won her seat in 2014 by 16 points.
But now she’s one of the most vulnerable Republicans this year, currently trailing Jennifer Wexton by high single digits, according to recent polls https://t.co/5qMrhvMA6t pic.twitter.com/Bj2EFUQlOG

The most sobering thing about talking-to-average-people midterms reporting is the number of average people who either have no idea an election is happening or think the president is running in it.

One other unscientific-sample report: I’ve met four “voted for Trump, wish I didn’t, never again” women in one Pennsylvania shopping centre in two hours. The “nothing matters/these Trump people are unreachable” sentiment is very confusing when you talk to female voters.
