NEW: Republicans are favored to win the House in November, while the Senate is a toss-up, according to FiveThirtyEight’s latest 2022 election forecast.

Republicans have an 87% chance to win the House but only a 53% chance to win the Senate, according to the Deluxe version of the FiveThirtyEight forecast, which is now live

And here's my overview. Basically: the political environment is quite bad for Dems, but the GOP has enough bad candidates (inexperienced, scandal-plagued, 1/6 endorser, views outside mainstream) to keep D hopes alive in the Senate & some key gov races.

The split diagnosis reflects the difference between macro- and micro-level conditions. The national environment is quite poor for Democrats. Of course, this is typical for the president’s party, which has lost seats in the House in all but two of the past 21 midterm elections. But Democrats are also saddled with an unpopular President Biden and a series of challenges for the country, including inflation levels that haven’t been seen in decades, the lingering effects of the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and fraying trust in civic institutions — caused, in part, by Republican efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

If we can just take back the house we might be able to ride this out to 2024.
SCOTUS is safe, Senate is deadlock.

It’s funny how the Dems never have “bad” candidates. All the salt of the earth.

I read a 53% chance of winning the senate as 53 R seats in the senate. If Murkowski isn't one of them, that's as much as we can hope for.

I'm kind of curious if the polling companies have learned anything after 2016 and 2020. Nate's work will always be reliant on this data.

What does this even mean? A catch-all for anyone who feels like like they were cheated out of the democratic process?

The senate could be tough for Rs. And then Beto will run against Cruz again in 2024.

Are they taking into consideration where cheating has and hasn't been fixed. If not anyone putting much faith into their forecast will be in for a lot of disappointment.
