The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
March 23, 2018: Twenty-eight seats currently held by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are at high risk of flipping parties in the midterm elections. A race-by-race analysis at ScottRasmussen.com shows that Democrats are favored in seven Republican-held districts and 13 more are pure toss-ups. Additionally, there are eight districts rated as barely tilting in the Republican direction.
There are 14 more Republican seats that are very competitive but lean in the GOP direction. On top of that, there are 26 GOP seats that could be at risk if the political environment becomes more favorable to the Democrats this fall.
To win majority control, Democrats need to gain 23 seats in November. Only four Democratic seats are considered high risk. That includes two toss-ups and two races barely tilting in the Democratic direction. Republicans are not currently favored in any Democratic districts.
