Will the 2018 Midterm Elections have higher turnout than 2014?

I think it may be 2 points lower than 2014, but enough for Democrats to win some governorships. Some people just don't vote in midterm and off-year non-presidential elections. If the political climate is so bad, then it may be lower than 2014.

The specials are already surpassing or nearing 2014 levels already. It'll be high, unless the increase in turnout from galvanized Trump haters is offset by a depression in turnout among Republicans, which would be bad for them.

I would beyond amazed if 2018 turnout is lower than 2014. 2014 was the lowest turnout in 72 years! every piece of evidence suggests that barring some unprecedented voter suppression or truly dismal GOP turnout sinking the average, that turnout will be higher.
