Over the last couple of days we have got several polls of Dems leading by double digits in the national environment, and ahead in states and districts Trump won by 15+ points. Starting to get hard to deny that Nov could very likely be a bloodbath for the GOP

Dems won Kentucky, LA governor in 2018, plus Doug Jones in Alabama. Republicans took Illinois in an R+6 year. Republicans won IL, MA Senate in 2010 at R+7. Republicans picked up 12 (!) Senate seats in 1980 in a year where Democrats won the House popular vote.

The Kentucky thing has some unique stuff going for it so it might not be representative. The outgoing Republican governor was widely unpopular and publicly corrupt AND Andy Beshear had a lot of name recognition both from his term as AG and because his Dad was governor in the 2000s.
