◼ House GOP could win biggest majority in 65 years - Susan Ferrechio/Washington Examiner
Republican gains in the House, once predicted to be modest, could end up large enough to give the party its largest majority in more than 65 years.
Pollsters and race analysts blame President Obama’s low approval rating for a House Democratic outlook on Election Day that is suddenly much more dire.
“It’s about the president,” Nathan Gonzales, deputy editor of the Rothenberg Political Report, told the Washington Examiner. “The president’s job approval number has not rebounded. It’s even gotten worse. And that has forced Democrats into a defensive posture.”
Instead of contending with a GOP gain of about five seats, as many analysts predicted weeks ago, Democrats are facing the loss of up to a dozen seats, enough to give Republicans a majority of 247 seats.
