You are ignorant about politics. In a midterm with with president at 35% approvals, undecideds will go against his party in the end by a large margin. CLinton was at 47% support in 1994 when Dems lost 50 seats. Even those GOP incumbent congressmen now slightly ahead in the polls rarely have 50% of the vote, which means they are in trouble. If a congressman isn't getting at least 49% right now he's probably going to lose. Gerrymandering will save some, but only a portion. The GOP has been hoping their financial advantage would make a difference, but Dems have caught up, beating them in fundraising this month, and the GOP negative ads are not working as they have in past elections, in fact they are backfiring. Rush Limbaugh may have cost the GOP the senate by dishonestly attacking Michael J. Fox for instance. People are turned off by the sleazy and sishonesty, and todaty's GOP is well know to be very-very corrupt.
