Senate Forecast Shifts Towards Republicans

The Cook Political Report shifted its forecast of control for the Senate toward Republicans just four days out from the midterm elections.

“While a handful of races remain incredibly tight, and polls show they could go either way, the far better national environment for Republicans has many Democratic strategists we have talked to staring down a gloomy prospect.”

“Several have wished this election could have been held even a month ago, but it appears Republicans could be peaking at the right time. More traditional midterm expectations seem to have again taken hold, which is never good news for the president’s party.“
