Six weeks out from Election Day, things are going from bad to worse for House Republicans.
New ratings changes from Fox News and Sabato’s Crystal Ball make 18 shifts in Democrats’ favor, including nine Republican-held seats and seven races from Florida alone, a sign that Republicans’ gerrymander there is poised to backfire.
See some of the ratings changes for yourself:
FOX NEWS
- CO-05 – Crank: Likely R → Lean R
- FL-07 – OPEN: Likely R → Lean R
- FL-13 – Luna: Likely R → Lean R
- FL-27 – Salazar: Likely R → Lean R
- IA-02 – OPEN: Lean R → Toss-Up

SABATO’S CRYSTAL BALL

These changes come on the heels of reporting from MS NOW that House Republicans are bracing for defeat, with one saying, “We’re gonna get crushed, the only question is by how much.”
DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley:
“House Republicans are bracing for a wipeout of their own making. They broke their promise to the American people and sent costs skyrocketing with no end in sight. Voters are ready to turn the page, send Republicans packing, and elect Democrats to the House Majority.”
