The Republicans now have only a 6% chance of an outright takeover of the Senate.
Maryland Rematch Will Be Close
A new Rasmussen survey in Maryland shows Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) edging former Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R) in their repeat race for governor, 47% to 44%.
Hoyer Sees Big Democratic Losses
When asked about a recent Cook Political Report analysis that showed Democrats likely to lose 30 to 40 House seats in the midterm elections, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) did not disagree, reports Washington Whispers.
Said Hoyer: “It’s an accurate view of what the polls reflect right now. Yes. I have great respect for Charlie Cook.”
Republicans need to pick up 40 seats to take control of the House.
