In the Senate,The Cook Political Report’s envisions a 5 to 7 seat net gain for Republicans which is inline with CivicForumPAC’s July Senate outlook of GOP + 6. Currently there are 57 Democrats, two independents that caucus with Democrats, and 41 Republican Senators. Assuming independents caucus with the Dems, Republicans need to net 10 seats to take control of the Senate.
In the House, The Cook Political Report posits a 32 to 42 seat net gain for Republicans. Currently there are 255 Democratic and 178 Republican House members and two vacant seats, one formerly held by a Democrat and one by a Republican. Republicans need to net 39 seats to reach a bare majority of 218 seats.
