The Senate, where the GOP holds 53 seats, remains a toss-up, the conservative outlet says

For the first time this year, Fox News is projecting that Democrats will win control of the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.

In its latest power rankings Tuesday, the conservative outlet forecast that Democrats are favored to capture 219 seats — one more than the 218 needed for a majority. Republicans were favored in 198 races, while 18 contests remained toss-ups.

“The House is likely out of reach for the GOP this year,” according to the Fox News analysis. “The Democratic Party has enjoyed a lead in the House all year. Now, as another 20 races shift leftward, this forecast sees the Democrats taking control.”

    That will engage their population to vote and put the ‘left’ at ease, maybe not to vote.

    What they say doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is for us to vote.

      Democrats trailing in the polls = give up chance of flipping seat and don’t vote

      Democrats doing well in polls = don’t bother to vote it’s in the bag

      Are the only good poll numbers nail biting 50/50?

        Fuck poll numbers. I’ve marked every political and polling message I’ve received as spam. They can find out my vote when I cast it. Go vote people, ignore polls.

      was about to say almost the exact same thing.

      Regardless of whatever they say. Don’t get lazy. Don’t get complacent. Get off your ass and go vote, no matter what it takes
