Democrats on the verge of winning 222 House seats in 2018 midterm elections: Poll
(Worthy News) – Democrats are on the verge of winning 222 seats in the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections, according to a new poll that increased their odds of flipping power in the lower chamber.
The CBS News and YouGov poll, released Sunday, shows an uptick from its prediction of 219 seats when the survey was last conducted in June, signaling that Democratic candidates could be creating momentum before the Nov. 6 contests.
But the results have a range of plus or minus 11 seats, which means Republicans could still control the House after the midterm cycle if they can secure majority support in 218 congressional districts.
There are 435 total seats, and Democrats winning 222 of them would give them a nine-seat advantage over Republicans. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
