Latest Midterm Election Odds Reveal Democrats’ Chances of Victory
Democrats see an outside shot at taking the chamber for the first time in more than two decades, with dozens of competitive districts in play, officials said.
- Georgia Democrats have spent years eroding the Republican majority and now need a net gain of 10 seats to seize control of the House chamber for the first time in over two decades.
- Elections prognosticator Nate Silver released his midterm forecast model on Tuesday, dubbed "FLIPR," projecting Democrats would win the national popular vote for the U.S. House by 8.7 points.
- While Silver acknowledged "Democrats certainly have plenty of pr0blems," including a "fundraising crisis," his model identifies State Rep. James Talarico in Texas and Jon Ossoff in Georgia as top Democratic opportunities.
- Republicans secured a mild advantage through aggressive mid-decade redistricting, giving Democrats a significant structural hurdle to clear in their quest for House control this cycle.
- Midterms typically present challenges for the incumbent president's party, yet current conditions favor Democrats; only 22 percent of Americans strongly approve of President Trump's performance in office.
