This is projecting the Republicans to have 225 to 255 seats when Congress begins their session next year. Even if Democrats win all 30 toss-up races, they would find themselves in the minority next year. These are just estimates, and a lot could change from now until November.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With redistricting completed and the bulk of the primaries behind us, the Power Rankings model now reveals a clear advantage for the GOP in the House. With 218 seats required to take control, the GOP is forecast to take 225 seats to the Democrats&#8217; 180 seats. Those figures include only the races in which one party has an advantage. The actual size of a GOP majority will depend on how many highly competitive &#8220;toss up&#8221; races each party wins, but the Republicans are expected to gain at least a seven-seat majority (225 seats) and as much as a 37-seat majority (255 seats) in their &#8220;best case&#8221; scenario.<\/p>\n<p>The range of scenarios for the Democrats leaves the party with as much as a 38-seat deficit (180 seats), or just eight shy of a majority (210 seats). That is significant. In other words, even if Democrats win all 30 races currently marked as toss-ups, the party still does not have enough support to retain control of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Eagle-eyed Power Rankings readers would know that these ratings are just estimates, and that even races assigned to a party (particularly those in the &#8220;Lean&#8221; columns) are still very competitive. Nonetheless, the current forecast looks very cloudy for congressional Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>One factor above all else contributes to the gloomy outlook: President Joe Biden&#8217;s approval rating. A New York Times\/Siena poll released Monday puts Biden&#8217;s approval rating at just 33%, and several high-quality polls now show Biden with a lower rating than former President Donald Trump had at the same time in his presidency. Just as Trump&#8217;s approval rating foreshadowed the Democrats&#8217; solid victory in the House back then, so does Biden&#8217;s rating now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-power-rankings-gop-expected-take-control-house\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News power rankings estimate that the Republicans could gain anywhere from a seven-seat advantage to &hellip; <a title=\"Fox News is predicting that the GOP will take the House\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=127823\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fox News is predicting that the GOP will take the House<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127823\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
