Republicans Still Favored to Keep House

Washington Post: “President Obama remains at least an even bet to win reelection. Democrats are favored to hold on to the Senate — an outcome few prognosticators envisioned at the beginning of the year. And yet, with a little more than a week to go, the party holds almost no chance of winning back the House.”

“Analysts cite several factors why the Democrats haven’t been able to
take advantage. First was a redistricting process that made some
Republicans virtually impervious to a challenge and re-election more
difficult for about 10 Democrats. A few Democratic incumbents have
stumbled in their first competitive races in years. And Republicans have
leveraged their majority into a fund-raising operation that has
out-muscled the Democrats.”
