At one point they were behind by 15 points and it has now flipped to positive territory.  However, as much as I like these results I am still skeptical about the chances in November.  I think a much more important metric is voter enthusiasm, and that is clearly on the side of Democrats.  Unless the conservatives and right-leaning independents come out in droves the House will definitely flip and we will waste the next two years on impeachment.  If you look at the modern history, Americans tend to like divided government so the excesses of either party are tempered.  Of course with the stupid and arcane rules of the Senate, we have effectively divided govt now.
