Republicans Hold Narrow House Edge As Democrats Suffer Losses
Republicans retained control of the U.S. House with a slim margin as Democrats gained some Southern seats. Voter News Service projected the GOP would keep the chamber with several incumbents defeated and open-seat pickups in North Carolina New Jersey New York Connecticut Maine and South Dakota. Exit polls showed a mixed view of leadership and Congress with souring opinions on Gingrich yet broad bipartisan backing for continued GOP leadership in the near term.
