Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for August 10, 2020
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
August 10, 2020: Real Clear Politics (RCP) rates 31 U.S. House Races as Toss-Ups in Election 2020. Fourteen races lean towards the Democrats while 14 others lean Republican.[1]
Those competitive races account for just 14% of all House seats. The other 86% are listed as likely or safe for either Republicans or Democrats.[1]
Currently, RCP rates 190 races as Leans, Likely, or Safe Republican. A total of 214 are projected to end up in the Democratic column.[1]
Those numbers give a sense of how difficult the GOP challenge is this election season. To win the House, Republicans would need to carry at least 28 of the 31 Toss-Ups. And, they’d have to hang on to all 14 races that are just leaning in their direction.
