    Democrats maintain lead in bid for a House - on pace for 229 in our model... range could reach into the 230s -but Reps do have very narrow path to hold, too. That D lead has been durable but hasn't expanded either i.e., there isn't a growing wave, at least not as of today.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: Against a backdrop of continued concern about inflation & the economy, Dems maintain a lead in a bid for a House majority. Currently on pace for 229 seats in our CBS News House model estimate, which translates voters' congressional preferences into seats. Potential range of outcomes could reach into the 230s, but Reps do still have a very narrow path to hold.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: Talarico's standing is helped by more Democrats saying they'll definitely vote. That leaves the dynamic in the closing weeks very much up for grabs. If more Republicans decide to vote, it could certainly change.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: Latino voters in Texas swung toward Trump in 2024, but most are now backing Democrat Talarico. They are more likely than voters overall to say higher prices have been a hardship or difficult, & most do not think Paxton has the right personal character to serve as a Senator.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: Texas just has a lot more Republicans than Democrats. That means Talarico needs to do overwhelmingly well with independents and get some vote shift among GOPers, or activate enough new voters to offset that.

    I get that people want to talk about "the polls," are they right etc. Fine. But some of what you're seeing is a simple, political story: Numbers driven by lower turnout expression from Reps. (And of course that can change.)

    ..and my regular (well, biennial) reminder that the House is won and lost by 435 seats - not national popular vote. ...Follow polls accordingly.

    Here's our latest poll and House model: Dems maintain edge, driven by continuing concerns about prices - and turnout gap w/Rs too

    CBS News Poll @CBSNewsPoll
    Our CBS News House model estimate shows the Dems retain their edge for a narrow majority of seats & their lead in national vote preference. The advantage is driven by opposition to Trump admin policies & a Rep base that is less likely to turnout.

    So the GOP voters who don't think there's enough admin focus on inflation are less likely to vote - these "reluctant reps" aren't crossing party lines, but may stay home... surely the key to watch in coming weeks if this changes...or doesn't.
    CBS News Poll @CBSNewsPoll
    Dissatisfaction with prices may be impacting the GOP vote. Republicans are less likely to say they'll definitely turn out than Democrats are. Reps who say the admin isn't putting enough focus on prices are less likely to say they'll definitely vote than those who think it is.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: Who's responsible for today's economy, anyway? Voters have voiced concern about the economy since the pandemic. By a wide margin today, voters see Trump policies - not former President Joe Biden's - as responsible for today's economy.

    RT @CBSNewsPoll: "The economy" today means prices. When asked what they use to gauge the economy, it’s prices. Most voters feel Trump's policies are making food & grocery prices go up. And feel the admin hasn't focused enough on lowering costs. Most think the Iran war is driving up gas prices. Dems continue to draw the votes of people who say prices have been difficult or a hardship.

    And you've probably already seen @ZacharyDonnini rolling out some of that great @votehub work on the Takeout w @MajorCBS - more to come there too -
    Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini
    Had a great time with @MajorCBS on @CBSNews’ The Takeout yesterday. It looks like a blue year, but the Senate remains a tossup. Why? The battleground is red. I explained how, to hold the chamber, Republicans just simply need to prevent the bottom from falling out.
