    So it's it's a real problem for Republicans, in this midterm election. It's it's probably the number one reason that they're likely to lose the house.

  • PendingKirk BadoChamber Control2026 season

    I'm pretty confident in the house big picture here. ... You were our first person to pick our scenario, and you went down the center with win in name only. So Democrats don't take the senate and win the house by under 15. ... I'm still middle of the road right now.

    Republicans have a fighting chance I think, not only to keep the Senate majority, but to keep it at 52.

  • PendingG. Elliott MorrisChamber Control2026 season

    The House at 99% is in “spooky probability territory™,” but the seat-level math adds up . In Elliott’s forecast model at FiftyPlusOne, Democrats need only about a 3.5-point national margin to win the majority, and they're polling 5 to 6 points better than that.

  • PendingRobby SoaveChamber Control2026 season

    And this is a very plausible result, by the way, if you look at the numbers. This is a very likely outcome, is that Democrats win it by one. They have the Senate.

  • PendingBarbara SpruntChamber Control2026 season

    you may get a Democratic house, majority in the house, which actually has no power to address those very issues. And that is going to be a major challenge for Democrats, should they take control of the house.

    Democrats win both the house and the senate this year buy, sell, or hold... I think the odds of the house are very low, and I frankly have thought that all year long.
