now, we're up into the seventies again with the strength of numbers model for the senate. Right? ... but that's also looking pretty strong. Right?

So now, we're up into the 70s again for the Senate, right? ... But that's also looking pretty strong, right? [Morris then discusses the four pickups Democrats need]

Our model at 50 Plus One shows a 99% chance that the Democrats will win 218 seats or more.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 3, 2026 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.
Why I Don't Think Republicans Are Going to Lose the Senate
We were at winning name only. Democrats don't win the senate. ... I'm still middle of the road right now.
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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 1, 2026 - 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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 1, 2026 - PendingG. Elliott MorrisChamber Control2026 season
according to the 50+1.news election forecast, today, Democrats have a 99 out of 100 chance of winning the majority of the house of representatives. That would be 218 house seats or more.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 1, 2026 - PendingG. Elliott MorrisChamber Control2026 season
The senate today is a 73 out of 100 chance. That is a, nearly all time high for the Democrats for taking control of the senate.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 1, 2026 David, are are you convinced? / That it's a 99% chance? You know what I am.
- PendingG. Elliott MorrisChamber Control2026 season
Democrats have a 73% chance at the Senate because of the long shots, not the toss-ups.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Oct 1, 2026 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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 30, 2026 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.
The United States House of Representatives is gone for the GOP... The House is going to flip and could just as easily flip back in two years.
But I do think enough of them will still come home to the GOP that the Senate stays in Republican hands.
Now there's a guy who is having a real problem with the fact that things aren't going so well for Republicans in the house and they are likely to lose. ... Very dangerous play in advance of midterms they are likely to get destroyed in.
No. I don't think it's a done deal... I think it's more likely than not.
I I think the house is kind of a done deal, and the question there is what the margin will be... But it's gonna be a Democratic house.

He's now 16 points underwater in the key house districts. Simply put mathematically, this equals a Democratic majority for the House of Representatives.
