Suddenly, Pelosi wants a Coronavirus stimulus deal

The margin favoring Democrats in the generic ballot for the House is slipping, from about 8 points to about 6 in the last few weeks (one could say the Dem lead has had a bad haircut).

Given GOP redistricting advantages in several states — especially Ohio, and North Carolina, and to a lesser extent in a few other states — plus the  fact that Dems win big majorities in minority majority districts, Dems may need at least a  6 point advantage to hold control of the House.

Pelosi is likely getting nervous, since her own importance and power depend on holding the majority.
