Odds Favor Demos Gaining Top Hand In Voting This Year
The odds favor Democrats to win control of both Senate and House in this year’s general election. Historical averages suggest possible gains but current balance makes a large shift unlikely. The text notes Democrats hold 48 Senate seats with one independent and Republicans 47 plus one independent in Oregon. The House sits 219 Republicans to 215 Democrats with one independent, making formal control slim. It cites longstanding tradition of losses for the party in power in off year elections and notes past deviations under FDR.
