New analysis shows Democratic takeover of House likely

RAW STORY

The latest state-by-state analysis by the Rothenberg Political Report
projects a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives, RAW
STORY has learned.

In the lower house of the legislature, Rothenberg's analysis sees
Democrats gaining 15-20 seats--well over the 12 needed for a House
majority.

Previous analysis had the gap much tighter, with Democrats' prospects
for takeover hanging on just a handful of hotly contested seats.

Democrats still appear unlikely to re-take the Senate, however, with
projected gains of just 3-5 seats.

Of the 9 seats ranked as at least somewhat competitive, both of those
leaning toward an incumbent ouster and three of the four toss-ups are
currently held by Republicans.

However, three Democrats are also given just a narrow advantage in
their races.
