Poll question: How many House seats will dems gain/lose this fall

What is your early prediction?

[Vadem]

1. I predict 1-10, that is if we all get out to the polls and vote!

Maybe we won't lose any seats if we all get busy and get Dems to the polls!

2. It's Too Early to Even Guess

In this era of manufactured "Gotcha" news, and with an economy with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, anything can and probably will happen, both before and after November 2nd.

3. NONE

If you look at the statistics...the Democrats who are in office are just as good and popular. Just remember that the republicans are going to be the ones taken a beating. They have to defend all over 216 or so seats PLUS PICK UP 39 to take over the house. Then they now have 41 senate seats. The have to defend 18 which are up be re-election. And take at least 10 more to take over the senate and I sure as hell don't think they would do either one. If the Democrats fight like they should they might be the ones to pick up seats.

4. I'm looking forward to seeing you repost after the election how all the gloom & doomers were wrong.

It's nice to fantasize that no seats will be lost, but present conditions and national attitudes as well as history predict a different, but usual outcome.

5. Americans apparently have the memory of moths

but general discontent does not equal specific losses. 1-10.

[Midwestern Democrat]

6. We'll probably lose at least 30 House seats - hopefully, not much more

than that.

7. I think 35 to 40 realistically

[IndianaGreen]

8. Losing seats in midterms is common for the party in power

I don't think that the disaster being forecast by the MSM will come to pass. Democrats will lose no more than 10 seats in districts that were traditionally Republican, but went blue two years ago.

The Senate is another story altogether. Too many fuckups running for reelection!

[Dark Knight]

9. I think that's wishful thinking

[baldguy]

10. All the predictions of Gloom & Doom for the Dems is "conventional wisdom" bullshit.
