That poll is way too close for comfort. So far, Dems are failing to make the Trump stank stick to other Republicans.

We need 218 seats in the House and 51 in the Senate for simple majorities. This means we need 3 more seats in the House and 4 more in the Senate than we currently have. Yes, having more would be nice, especially in the House and because of Fetterman in the Senate. In the House, I think we win anywhere between 8-15 seats. In the senate, I like our chances of holding onto GA, NH, MN and MI at this point. I think we have a good chance of winning Maine, North Carolina and Ohio (Yes, only because Trump is unpopular atm). That puts us at 50. Peltola in Alaska is interesting considering Trump's negatives. We need 51. Alaska? Texas? Iowa? South Carolina? Florida? We only need 1 of the 5. This could all change tomorrow.

But I'm less confident about Ohio given Brown already lost and how red the state has gotten. But as you note, Trump is underwater.

as for Brown in Ohio? Who knows. Trump is not popular at the moment in Ohio but we will see

And some of these other names I’m unsure about (particularly Alaska) how they’d vote in some important areas.

But we fight elections with the Democrats we have, not the ones we would choose.
(paraphrasing Donald Rumsfeld, war criminal).

Senate will be tough, but even if we just get to 50, 2028 is a much more favourable landscape for Dems in the senate, and we should be able to add to that number easily.

Name one Democratic piece of legislation he voted against? Here's a hint. There isn't one. He didn't oppose any democratic initiatives when they held the majority.

pragmatically we need 52 minimum for voting. Fetterman. We also have to consider he may actually switch sides, formally.

Sorry, I didn't mean to step on toes. I responded before reading all of the replies. Just mark me down for 52.

Ohio is an open seat.

Georgia we're on defense

Kentucky is an open seat

Texas and Florida are long shots, but. . .

We need five seats since Fetterman has turned into Sinema.

Fetterman never voted against any democratic proposed legislation when the Democrats were in the majority.
