Arithmetic points to Democratic majorities in Congress
AP analysis argues that despite Nixon coattails Republicans face steep odds to gain control. Senate would require five net seats for GOP and Democrats hold a 55 45 margin. House currently 255 178 with 2 vacancies, needing 40 seat net gain to flip. Even Nixon landslide unlikely to break Democratic edge across both chambers.
