A Wave Might Not Be Enough for Democrats in 2014

Reid Wilson notes that Democrats hold an edge in the generic congressional ballot by 8 points, 48% to 40%.

“But given the challenges Democrats face and the heavily gerrymandered districts that work to protect incumbent members of Congress, it would take a political wave to unseat the House Republican majority. And at the moment, the Democratic advantage isn’t large enough to suggest that a wave is building.”

Nate Cohn: “If there’s anything I could get people to understand about the next election, it’s this: Even a 2006 or 2010-esque tsunami might not give Democrats control of the House.”
