I’m in FL and I really am concerned over the anti white racist Gillum winning.

I just hope the President pulls this out for DeSantis

I never had either of those in my “lose” category.

I’m waiting on info on IA1, IA2, KS3, CO6, NM1, NV3 and NV4.
If we lose even 2 CA seats, we’re fine if we take 2 of the above.

Basically now Ds have to win all 23 of the remaining “tossups.”

I was surprised to see this reported in USA Today. Weekend editors let it slip through I suppose.

Thank you for everything you do.
I know how RCP works, but decided to track them
(capturing screen shots) of how they revise their
prediction for the last 10 days of the cycle.

No way are they losing Senate seats and taking 23 House seats.

This election is looking very much like the 2016 election with Trump, Kavanaugh, and the Caravan bringing a level of enthusiasm more like a Presidential election year.

In 2016, the Republicans lost 6 seats in the House.

Using the final RCP ratings, 23 races were rated toss ups. 7 of those races were won by the Democrats. I believe that we will see a similar result for this year. We will win at least 20 of the toss up rates giving us a small majority in the next House of Representatives.

Does anybody know how to interpret the odds? It says Dems +110 and Reps -140. ???

As of Sunday, the odds of the GOP keeping the House are at -140. That means you would need to bet $140 on the Republicans to win $100 if they stay in the majority. The Democrats are at +110, meaning a $100 bet would win you $110 if the Democrats manage to wrest control of the House.

My gosh their heads will implode and they’ll erupt in demonic rage if they don’t at least get the House.

Say the Senate goes say +5R (I would think it would be at least that result if the R’s keep the House); and the R’s hold the House, say, 220-215.

In 2016 they were in shock and couldn’t react - they were frozen and stunned. Now, I’m thinking they might just go full Antifa and start bike-locking little old ladies.

Ignore these headlines. Get out and vote when you are able to do so (not after Nov. 6, though...unless you're a Democrat;)).

Yes, RCP now has it 205 Dems and 201 GOP with 29 toss ups. A few days ago they had it 205-198. 27 of the 29 tossups are Republican-held seats so a great chance the GOP takes most of them.

Any data on my NJ 5th district? It’s an R+3 district with a Democratic incumbent. Trump won it in 2016 so I’m hoping McCann has a chance.
