538 forecasts Democrats to take the Senate
Five Thirty Eight has forecast that the Democrats have a 59% chance of taking control of the US Senate.
They predict that:
- Democrats win Pennsylvania
- Democrats win New Hampshire
- Democrats retain Nevada
- Democrats win Indiana
- Democrats win Illinois
- Democrats win Wisconsin
This would give the Democrats a fairly comfortable 52 seats.
Trump is now seen to have a better chance of winning the presidency, than the Republicans retaining the Senate. They have him at between 44% and 48% probability (depending on model) to win the presidency. This is the highest he has been apart from the convention bounce.
