All are indicating a GOP House, a Democratic Senate (shocking since 21 Dems were running in seats to defend, vs just 6 Republicans).
That means we're in for a POTUS, either way, who will get nothing meaningful done.
Like it or hate it (and I am in the latter), 2009-2010 was the only scenario where future POTUS' are unlike figureheads. It takes 60 Senate Seats, plus 218 House, plus POTUS. 2 of 3 is no different than 1 of 3. 1 to block is all it takes to make the POTUS a figurehead.
