Democrats Are Not a Lock on Taking House

Washington Post: “Republicans are starting to point to evidence — and some fresh numbers — that their chances of retaining the House majority when voters go the polls in 13 days may have slightly improved. And even some Democrats agree.”

“Most of the battleground House races are being fought on Republican turf (63 out of 69 seats, according to a new Washington Post-Schar School poll). That means that Democrats have a built-in edge that makes it easier to capture the net 23 seats needed to regain House control.”

“But there’s decent evidence those House races remain tight or could be tightening. That’s not to say Democrats aren’t still favored to take over the House — by polls, history and sky-high enthusiasm to vote against President Trump.”
