John's Friday Sooth.

John, our friendly neighborhood political soothsayer, has once again read at the entrails of the body politic, said his sooth, and he tells the following November fortune. Or misfortune, if you're a Democrat:

Governor's Races: Republicans surging. California is now "leans Republican, and Ohio "solid Republican".

(9/1 projection: 35 Republicans, 15 Democrats, or Republican gain of +11)

earlier:

(8/26 projection: 31 Republicans, 19 Democrats, or Republican gain of +7)
(8/19 projection: 32 Republicans, 18 Democrats, or Republican gain of +8)


US Senate Races: Slight GOP gain from last week.

(9/1 projection: 54 Democrats, 46 Republicans, or Republican gain of +5)

earlier:

(8/19 and 8/26 projections: 55 Democrats, 45 Republicans, or Republican gain of +4)


US House of Representatives: Slight reduction in the GOP landslide. But the loss goes to "watch", not "Democrat".

(9/1: 250 Republicans/185 Democrats (+ 71 Republican, “Watch list” of 28 Democrats/2 Republicans)

earlier:

(8/26: 253 Republicans/182 Democrats (+ 74 Republican, “Watch list” of 25 Democrats/2 Republicans)
(8/19: 254 Republicans/181 Democrats (+ 75 Republican, “Watch list” of 24 Democrats/1 Republican)
