Now do not just say Trump, Trump, Trump because you are a Trumper. Think about your poll vote. either side does not want to look silly if you get stomped.

I think everyone in the country expects Dems to take the House and GOP to hold the Senate.

Republicans keep both, if my analysis is as predictive as it was in 2016.

They will increase their Senate majority, slightly decrease their House majority, but retain majorities in both.

Polling bias only gets worse every cycle, and the "trump whisperer" effect continually skews reality a bunch from the polling. People who are going to vote for him either whisper it or simply refuse to admit it, what with modern society all but destroying your life for openly liking the man. So fewer Trump voters answer polling questions honestly, while a higher percentage of anti-Trump voters are safe and secure in shouting their preference from the rooftops. No polls answer for that cultural fear and media bias. If you correct for it, The GOP comes out of tomorrow looking much better than polls are predicting.

You make a good point. That could very well be the case.

If Dems though the first two years under Trump were bad, they're in for a rude awakening if the GOP maintains control of Congress after tomorrow.

This can only happen if Trump's Ego collides With Hillary's arrogance, the two most massive things in the universe.

I voted "Do not care either way" because both sides are toxic, and a "win" is really just a political win, not a win for any true strength or freedom for the individuals of this country.

We shall see. Yes GOP underpolls but to what degree will be answered tomorrow. I predict GOP underpolling will correlate closely with Cook PVI for a given state. This is ND, IN and MO senators are doomed. I believe MO is redder than Cook shows. Manchin may or may not survive but has the best shot of the 4 Dems in Red states.
GOP +3 or 4 senate
Dems take house by less than 5 seats.

IE the blue wave is a whopping 2 footer.

To be perfectly honest, I simply do not know.
I will find out Thursday morning, when the Secretary of State of each state certifies the vote count.
Until then, all I can say is "Damifino!"
