Fox News Power Rankings: GOP looks west for decisive House majority
Fox News
Fox News Power Rankings show that the Republicans are likely to win control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats, though dozens of races are Toss Ups.
The latest forecast shows Republicans winning 232 seats, or a 15-seat majority. Democrats would take the remaining 203 seats. That is a small shift in favor of the GOP since the previous forecast. Notably, if Republicans have a good night in November (in other words, if they win all the most competitive House races), the party would win 248 seats, or a 31-seat majority. That is "red wave" territory. Democratic Party supporters are still in this fight though. The forecast sees pathways for the Democrats to retain a majority, with their "best case" scenario totaling 220 seats, or 2 more than they need to stay in power.

The latest Fox News Polls have revealed that 89% of voters are "extremely" or "very" concerned about inflation and higher prices, and that voters trust the GOP to handle inflation by 13 points. Crime comes in second, with 79% of voters extremely or very concerned about higher crime rates. Voters trust the GOP to handle that problem by 15 points. Democrats make up ground on abortion, but that is the sixth top issue. Seventy-one percent of voters say they are extremely or very concerned about abortion policy, and voters trust Democrats six points more than the GOP.
