Some forecasters moved the Iowa and Washington Senate races out of the ‘safe’ category after the release of fresh polling data. There have been no other changes to the consensus forecast; 22 of this year’s 35 U.S. Senate seats up for election are seen as safe for the incumbent party. That includes 14 of 21 GOP-held seats, and nine of 8 held by Democrats. Assuming those play out as expected, Democrats1 will hold 44 seats, Republicans 43.
The other 13 seats feature varying levels of competitiveness, according to the consensus. The table below lists those states, ordered by the 270toWin polling average margin between the two major party candidates.
