Election Ratings Shift Sharply Toward Democrats in Final Week of Midterm Campaign
Source Summary
Inside Elections made 64 race rating changes in the final week of the midterm campaign, with 63 moving toward Democrats and 1 toward Republicans. The shift reflects Democratic gains in traditionally Republican-held House and Senate seats that were not considered competitive at the start of the cycle.
Why it matters
The magnitude of rating shifts toward Democrats in the final week suggests a significant late-campaign momentum that could materially affect House and Senate control in the midterm elections.
