Excerpts: "The Senate, if at all possible, is even tighter than it was in our last update of a week ago, with all eight races within three points or less (and all but one within two points or less). We still have the Democrats maintaining control by the slimmest of margins.
"House: The odds of the Democrats maintaining control of the House continue to be quite low, and the key question remains not whether the GOP will take the House, but by how much.

"There is still time for this picture to change. Remember, these assessments are 'snapshots, not 'predictions,' based on today’s conditions and data.
