University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato says Democrats for the first time are the favorites to retake control of the House in this year's midterm elections. Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the university's Center for Politics, said Tuesday that Democrats are now "soft favorites" for control of the chamber.
"[F]or most of this election cycle the generic ballot has shown a consistent Democratic lead that suggests a very competitive battle for the majority. A high number of open seats the highest number of any postwar election save 1992 give Democrats many more targets than the GOP," he wrote.
The analysis comes as Sabato shifted 17 House races in favor of Democrats, with several vulnerable Republicans including Rep. Pete Roskam (R-Ill.) seeing their races move from "likely Republican" to "toss-up" in the ratings.

Why would any sane person ever vote for a Democrat?
But they have examined each race one by one. In detail.
hillary by a landslide.
Is this the same Larry Sabado that predicted a MAJOR win for Hillary?
That’s what I thought.

That’s what I thought.
Perhaps. Has there been a study that examined accuracy of July prognostications for a November election?
I’ll pay more attention to the horse race analyses in October.
Who knows what information will drop between now and the midterms?
“But they have examined each race one by one. In detail.”
Same thing was said of the 2016 elections and they weren’t even close. Their fascist political party demands no one EVER releases anything but sycophantic praise and happy news for the fascist party. Left-wingers operate that way; Communists of the USSR, Nazi, North Korea, every left-winger demands sycophantic support.
And Hillary Clinton has a 91% chance of winning the presidency...
“17 House races shift to favor Dems.”
This is serious grasping at straws.
Or as Super Agent Strzok, defender of America, would have you believe 100 million to zero.
ROTFLMFAO!!!
of course they are!
They don’t even need to go out and vote- it’s such a sure thing
Well, after their incredible job on the 2016 election, I guess we can all trust the pollsters now and just stay home.
[insert eyeroll here]
And the day before the election, Larry Sabatos Crystal Ball prophesied 322 electoral votes for Clinton and 216 for Trump.
Larry Sabato doubles as the My Pillow guy...
They do look a little alike....
I think someone needs to start a suicide watch for Libs.......
Doc, these democrats are beyond the delusional stage. One more round of losing and the straight jackets stock will soar
