CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported Wednesday that Democrats are not matching their polling performance from the 2018 midterm elections, when they won control of the House. KATE BOLDUAN, CNN: New this morning, the race to control the House in the 2026 midterms has taken a turn and possibly brings with it a new warning sign for Democrats.
Harry Enten running the numbers on this one and sneaking in at the last minute, just as usual.
HARRY ENTEN, CNN CHIEF DATA ANALYST: I've learned that way around. I've learned that.
BOLDUAN: That was good. That was a good maneuver.
ENTEN: Thank you.
BOLDUAN: People should -- I wish people could see it.
ENTEN: I have -- I have fantastic moves. It's the new shoes, as we spoke about yesterday.
BOLDUAN: OK. Moving on.
And you're -- OK, you're tracking the odds. What is the change that you're seeing?
ENTEN: Yes. OK. So, you know, if you go back six months ago, you go back to April, Kate Bolduan, what were we looking at? Well, we were looking at the Democrats with a very clear shot of taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives according to the Kalshi Predication Market Odds. We saw them at an 83 percent chance.
But those odds have gone plummeting down. Now we're talking about just a 63 percent chance, while the GOP's chances up like a rocket, up like gold, up from 17 percent to now a 37 percent chance.

When it’s this guy on? I always see clips of him on the Fox News evening shows, but when I check CNN from time to time I never see him on.
Dunno how ‘rats can hold their own house. Lots of dysfunctional individuals in the abode.
Congratulations, Hakeem Jeffries. You will end up being the only opposition leader in history who needs half a dozen seats to take over Congress but is too stupid and incompetent to get them.
Dems’ need to cheat just quadrupled.i hope RNC is as on the ball as it was in 2024. Whatley is busy with his own race and Lara is gone.
Thats why commies are screaming about illegals being kicked out of this country, the more illegals they lose, the less votes they have. Heck Biden imported a Hamas terrorist who after Oct 7th came to Louisiana of all places they just arrested him he came here on a fraudulent visa, Biden’s goons LET HIM IN, I wonder when Van Hollen will demand he have margarita’s with him
Horizontal brought joy.
The Americans who won the 2020 and 2024 elections don’t stand a chance in the outhouse crappers they call Federal courts in this country these day. The “judgeez” are a bunch of failed Margarita cocktail waitresses, pancake waitresses and illegal alien refugeez with “dual citizenship”.
Depends on how many absentee ballots they can create from now until a couple months after Election Day when they finally stop counting ballots.
It’s the same old song. Say the Democrats are going to win to drive dollars to the Democrats. As you get closer to the election, start to get more honest.
Can he pull a Fire Alarm to help him get the seats?
Congratulations, Hakeem Jeffries. You will end up being the only opposition leader in history who needs half a dozen seats to take over Congress but is too stupid and incompetent to get them.
