House Ratings

May 10, 2010 · 11:33 PM EDT

With more polls confirming that two Democratic candidates are dividing the Democratic vote and the DCCC announcing that it will not invest any more resources into Hawaii’s 1st District, we’re moving the race to Lean Republican and expect Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou (R) to win the special election later this month.

Our bottom line in the House remains the same. Substantial Republican gains are inevitable, with net Democratic losses now looking to be at least two dozen. At this point, GOP gains of 25-30 seats seem likely, though considerably larger gains in excess of 40 seats certainly seem possible.

Here are our latest House ratings.
