The districts where a generic Democratic challenger leads prior to any information being provided about the shutdown are:

CA-31, CO-06, FL-02, FL-10, FL-13, IA-03, IA-04, IL-13, KY-06, MI-01, MI-07,MI-11, NY-19, OH-14, PA-07, PA-08, WI-07

I don't know about the other districts but I don't see a generic Dem winning in IA-04. There is too much red and hatred for Dems in that district.

IA-03 might happen, but it would have to be a helluva good generic Dem.
