Today's Poll Question: How will the midterm elections end for the House?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: It takes 218 seats to control the House. How will the midterms end? a) Republicans keep control, b) Democrats win narrowly (218–229 seats), or c) Democrats win big (230 seats or more)? With just eight days until the 2026 midterm elections, Michael examines whether Republicans can hold the House or whether Democrats are headed for a commanding victory. Election forecasts from Cook Political Report, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Nate Silver increasingly favor Democrats, while betting markets point toward a sizable majority. Michael breaks down the numbers, the stakes of reaching 218 seats, and why the difference between a narrow win and a blue wave could reshape Washington.
