Quote of the Day

Mid-cycle redistricting is likely to have only a minimal impact on the outcome of the 2026 U.S. House elections. Based on our simple but highly accurate forecasting model, adding the equivalent of 10 Republican districts prior to the election is only expected to reduce Democratic gains by about five seats. With an average lead of around 6 points on the generic ballot, Democrats would still be expected to gain around 23 seats in the House. To have a reasonable chance of maintaining control of the House, Republicans would need to be tied or leading on the generic ballot prior to the election.
Abramowitz's model which tries to account for a likely GOP edge in redistricting. Even when starting Republicans have more seats than they won in 2024, they still will need a better national environment to hold their House majority.
