THE Republican Party is likely to hang on to its majority in the Senate today but Democrats will win at least the 15 seats they need to take control of the House of Representatives, polls show.

The last-minute MSNBC/McClatchy polls show that in the Republican-held Senate seats in Montana and Rhode Island, the races are too close to call. The Democrats had held comfortable leads in both in the past month.

In the Democrat-held Senate seat in Maryland, Michael Steele, the black Lieutenant-Governor of the state, who was given no real chance of winning, is in a dead heat on 47 per cent with his Democrat opponent, Ben Cardin.

But most Republican analysts and strategists privately concede that the House is almost certainly lose and that the best they can hope for is a loss of fewer than 30 seats.

A combination of voter disillusionment with the Iraq war, questions about the Bush Administration's competence and a sour Republican Party base may be too much to overcome - even for the renowned "get out the vote" machine of Mr Bush's deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove.
