BUT THEN THERE'S THIS – AT 11:28 P.M. ET:  And it won't bring a smile.  The Dems seem to be bouncing back in the Congressional generic poll.  The results noted here are being seen in other polls as well, including Rasmussen.  From Fox: 

With five months until Election Day, Democrats hold the enthusiasm advantage -- and that puts them ahead of Republicans in the congressional vote as well.

A Fox News poll released Thursday finds 48 percent of voters favor the Democratic candidate in their congressional district and 39 percent the Republican. That 9-point lead is up from a 5-point edge the Democrats held in March (46-41 percent).

“It is important to treat the generic ballot test as more of a barometer than a forecast, and this poll hints at some reemerging headwinds for Republicans,” says Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who conducts the poll with Republican Daron Shaw.

“Political science tells us the Democrats will need a substantial edge in the national vote, maybe 10 points, to make up for gerrymandering and vote concentrations so they can take the House,” says Shaw.

More Democrats (72 percent) are extremely or very interested in the upcoming elections than Republicans (63 percent).

COMMENT:  It's hard to know why the Dems have bounced back somewhat from their recent lead, which was down to the low one digits.  They haven't actually done anything.  Maybe that's the key.  You don't do anything, you can't mess up.

But the new polls prove that Republicans must fight the hardest fight of their lives to hold Congress.
