In fact,\u00a0our high-turnout scenario nailed the final result, when it came to pass that historic turnout powered Democratic gains,\u201d the Battleground Tracker poll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/battleground-tracker-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The model also seems to reflect other recent national polls that suggest a red wave likely to flip the House to the GOP. For example, a Friday Rasmussen Reports Poll estimated a seven-point lead by Republicans nationwide among likely U.S. voters.<\/p>\n<p>The survey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/biden_administration\/gop_expands_lead_to_7_points_on_congressional_ballot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found<\/a> that \u201cif the elections for Congress were held today, 49% of Likely U.S. voters would choose the Republican candidate, while 42% would vote for the Democrat. Just four percent (4%) would vote for some other candidate, but another five percent (5%) are not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Trafalgar Group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/TRF-National-Generic-Ballot-Report-1028.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> from October also showed GOP voters ahead at 48.2% support versus Democrats at 42.4%. Another 9.4% were undecided in their response.<\/p>\n<p>Cook Political Report also <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/3703728-cook-political-shifts-gop-house-outlook-with-wider-margin-of-gains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">updated<\/a> its midterm numbers, now estimating that Republicans could flip up to 25 seats. The number is far more than the previously estimated 10-20 seats reported earlier.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the House, there is growing hope among Republicans that the party could also retake power in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Scott, the National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman, said the GOP would have at least 52 Senate seats after the 2022 midterms. Speaking during Sunday\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d on CNN, the senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2022\/10\/30\/scott-full.cnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued<\/a> his party would win several of the most controversial battles in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHerschel Walker will win Georgia. We\u2019re going to keep all 21 of ours. Oz is going to win against Fetterman in Pennsylvania. And Adam Laxalt will win in Nevada. But I think we have every reason to believe we can pick up with Blake Masters in Arizona, with Don Bolduc [in New Hampshire],\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans must get to at least 51 seats to break the current 50-50 tie in the Senate. Democrats currently hold power in the chamber as the vice president holds the tie-breaking vote.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Majority Leader\u00a0Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was caught last week expressing concern about certain Senate seats in a hot mic moment with President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state where we\u2019re going downhill is Georgia,\u201d Schumer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/10\/27\/schumer-caught-hot-mic-giving\/10619027002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> to Biden. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Senate Majority Leader also shared his concern about Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like the debate didn\u2019t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that\u2019s good,\u201d Schumer told the president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest CBS Battleground Tracker poll estimates that Republicans will gain at least 15 seats in the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm elections.
