Any estimate of the overall popular vote break on the U.S. House races?

I know that in 1996 the R's held the House even though the Dems actually beat them in the overall popular tally.

Just wondering if anybody had seen info on this as of yet.

I believe the Democrats got a few million more votes nationwide. Make no mistake, the Republicans kept the House solely through their redistricting in 2010.
