Back within the margin of error.
It's almost as if special elections, which democrats pour all of their energy and resources into (in attempt to sell the scam that they are winning), aren't a reliable indicator, given that it isn't a viable, nationwide strategy.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say, but dems +4 would not be a blue wave.
Also, Rasmussen was the single most reliable poll in 2016, and if you look, their poll dates back to nearly 2 weeks ago. The newer (democratic-skewed) polls are showing dems +2 and dems +3, so whenever Rasmussen updates to the current week, it's possible (if not likely) that the GOP will actually be in the lead.
Compare last week's reuters and economist polls to this week's to see the trend.
