It is the Obama-Trump economy. Neither deserve any credit.
3 years in after tax cuts, tariffs, trade deals, etc, it's the Trump economy.
The key for the D's in 2020 is to somehow tank the economy. Their stooge economists like Krugman have done their best, but they are going to have to work harder to get people put out of work and, hopefully for them, starving on the streets so they can blame Trump.

No, the Republicans lost the House in the midterm elections
because after 2 years of the never ending drama and noise
Pelosi and her ilk had created but attributed it to
Democrats no longer in a position to ‘stop the(ir)madness’
On top of the nonstop propaganda campaign
of Russian collusion and Orange Man Bad
For the love of, government has ceased to function
because of the nonsense the left has engaged in
because they don’t act like adults
Pelosi convinced naive voters that the only way
civility would be restored in Washington
was with Democrats back in power
These suburban women said what they had to
because you best believe they were white
They were actually short of the overall turnover from Republican to Dem. not exactly "dead on"
Wow a sitting President loses the House in his first term.... that has never happened before, EVER

5 pollsters missed by less than a point. 3 missed by 1-2 points. The only one who completely missed was Rasmussen who had Republicans up by 1.
Many of these states where gerrymandered so Democrats could not take control. However the suburban move from Republican to Democrat was unexpected and Trump has worsened it.
And NY and California aren't gerrymandered?
California redraws it's districts with a commission made up of private citizens. In New York, redistricting has been handled in a bipartisan manner although that could change in the next map. Voters in Missouri, Ohio and Michigan voted overwhelmingly for taking away the power to redistrict from the state legislature.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
My area of Queens is Republican, yet we get lumped in with part of the South Bronx to dilute our vote.
In 2012, a federal judge drew the maps after rejecting both parties' maps.
And all judges are impartial.....
What a fucking rube you are.
