House Races Move Towards Democrats

House Races Move Towards Democrats

"SNIP............


Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball: “This week we’re making 14 House rating changes, with all but one of them favoring the Democrats. This has been a common theme for us in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, we offered ratings of a potential Hillary Clinton-versus-Donald Trump presidential race, which tilted the competitive Electoral College states toward the Democrats. Last week, we moved six Senate races and two gubernatorial races toward the Democrats. This is mostly because of the increasingly likely odds of the GOP nominating Trump or Cruz for president.”

“However, these House changes do not represent a massive upgrade of Democratic odds for taking the House. Many of them simply take some already unlikely targets for Republicans off our list of competitive races, and they don’t change the overall House prospects all that much.”

without him. He's gotten a lot of people involved in the process of voting. And he has gotten really good ideas out in the public domain. I'm happy with both candidates actually.
