Democrats have a path to winning a House majority next year, but that possibility is highly dependent on variables over which they have effectively no control.

The Republicans’ proposed replacement for the failing Obamacare system is less than a week old, but voters are dubious about its impact on the cost and quality of health care. Still, the new proposal already earns better marks than the law it hopes to replace.
The newest wave of disclosures from the Julian Assange-fronted WikiLeaks shows the sophisticated level of spying the CIA is now capable of, and voters wish they didn’t know.
