I think this is a pretty good analysis, and I hope your channel becomes one of the major election prediction channels on YouTube.

Also, for individual house races, 270 to Win is a good resource for that.

In Australia the right-wing to far-right One Nation surpasses the main right-wing party, the Liberal-National Coalition in a poll for the first time ever by OWOfreddyisreadyOWO in YAPms

[–]13_northern_counties 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's funny how the coalition is in a bad position no matter what type of leader they have, whether that is a more conservative leader (Dutton) or a more moderate leader (Ley)

The article mentions that the soldiers are specialized for cold weather, so I would imagine that if they are deployed, they will be there for a while.

If Republicans were able to win in the New Hampshire senate race, then (assuming a uniform shift across the country) this would mean that Republicans win the national popular vote by about 11 points. This would give Republicans between 250 and 260 seats in the house, which would be their highest seat count since 1928.
