4 Scenarios For What Might HappenA lot can happen Tuesday, the culmination of a long midterm campaign that will provide the first nationwide measure of the U.S. electorate since Donald Trump was elected president.
One narrative has become dominant: Democrats are likely to gain control of the House, and Republicans hold the Senate, if not expand their majority there. That narrative is largely based on national polls, and caution should be urged. Pollsters have made a lot of adjustments to hopefully correct what they got wrong in 2016, but they can't tell you precisely who is going to show up to vote.So everyone should be prepared for surprises — because there always are some. That's the beauty of campaigns and voting.
