0:00.0 | All right, let's start today not hyper-ballically, but just in a way that aligns with the facts, |
0:23.3 | letting you know that the polling for the 2022 midterms in both the House and Senate is looking |
0:30.5 | a little bit worse for Democrats than it was three weeks ago. There is a very clear, |
0:36.0 | although for now, not massive shift away from Democrats towards Republicans in both the House |
0:44.1 | and Senate. And this just is another reminder that we all have to vote and we have to take nothing |
0:50.3 | for granted. Let's start first with the House of Representatives. Republicans have been favored |
0:56.5 | to win the House and they remain favored to win the House. But the rate, the probability of that |
1:04.8 | event taking place has increased. And if we look at the 538 forecast of the House of Representatives, |
1:11.7 | one of the things that you see is that over time, the Democratic chances of controlling the House |
1:19.2 | surged from about June through late September and then started to decline. Now it is not a massive |
1:27.3 | change, but there is this inflection point in late September, early October wherein Republican |
1:35.2 | odds of controlling the House, taking control of the House, have increased. What do we do about it? |
1:41.6 | Well, we all have to vote. That doesn't change. But this is starting to look like a trend. We then |
1:47.3 | look at the Senate Democrats have been for a while and remain favored to control the Senate after |
1:56.3 | the midterms to retain control. But again, if you look at how those odds have changed, you see an |
2:02.5 | even more notable inflection point. Again, this was right around, I don't know, mid-September. |
2:09.2 | And since mid-September, Democratic odds have declined and Republican odds have increased. |
2:16.3 | This doesn't change that the most likely outcome, the most likely single outcome is that Democrats |
2:24.2 | retain control of the Senate and Democrats lose control of the House. That's been the most |
2:29.4 | statistically likely outcome for a while now. But it's looking a little bit less good in the Senate |
2:37.3 | and even worse than it was in the House. So what is the takeaway later on in the show? We're going |
2:43.2 | to be looking at more debates from yesterday. We're going to be looking at other polling and |
