Democrats are heading toward a potential midterm blowout that could seize control of both chambers of Congress from Republicans, according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.
The Daily Mail reports Enten said Sunday that polling data shows Democrats with a strong chance of a major House victory and as favorites for a comfortable Senate majority. With the November elections just over a week away, he indicated the fight for Capitol Hill looks far less competitive than many observers expect, raising the prospect of a bruising Republican defeat that would reshape power in Washington.
“The midterms are just days away and I’m pouring over hundreds, no thousands of polls and data points,” Enten said. “And you know what the numbers are telling me? They are telling me that we are heading towards blowout territory! My goodness gracious!”
He stressed that the forecast rests on statistical modeling rather than personal political preference.
