2018 House Midtem Election Predictions

2018 House Midtem Election Predictions

The Democrats will take back the house on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

There is no blue wave however and it will be closer than many pundits are predicting.  I have predicted all 435 house races, with the help of Python, Pandas,  SciKit-learn, etc.

There are a handful of races that will tell the tale, but my model is predicting that it is going to be a difficult two years coming up for Donald J Trump.

Those of you looking closely have already noticed my overall prediction in the screen capture up there:

D:    221
R:    214
Name: party, dtype: int64

My model has the Democrats winning 221 of the 435 available seats.

This is a gain of 26 seats – which is a big gain but hardly a blue wave. In fact it is barely above the 218 they need to assume control of the house.

I am sure that the Republican party’s talking points will focus on the Democrats narrow margin of victory.   I am not sure that will matter to the 116th Congresses House Judiciary Committee…

The closest house races in my model:

TX 7 John Culberson R 49.57
OH 12 Troy Balderson R 49.74
OH 1 Steve Chabot R 50.68
CA 39 Gil Cisneros D 50.72
VA 7 Dave Brat R 50.87
NE 2 Don Bacon R 51.33
NJ 3 Andy Kim D 51.45
KY 6 Andy Barr R 51.66
KS 2 Paul Davis D 52.00
MI 8 Mike Bishop R 52.21

The Texas 7th, and the Ohio  1st and 12th could easily go either way. If I was doing a Cook Report kind of thing they would be toss-ups.  But calling a race a toss-up is the cowards way out!

There are another 10 races that I have the winner in the 50-something percentile.  I wouldn’t bet money on those either.  Therefore there are 20 races that I think are within a 5 point swing either way.

On the flip-side there are 380 races that are stone cold locks.   That leaves another 35 races that, were I to punk out, I would call leaning left or right.

percentage chance to win house race chart

As this chart shows my model has a lower confidence in more Republican predictions, and has more Democrat predictions near the 100% mark.  This means that I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the Democrats picked up a few more than 26 seats I am projecting.

Here is my models prediction for all 435 House Races:

      So, you’ve got 3 Fox News/Gab style slogans, one misspelled word, and grammatical issues vs. my hours and hours of time invested in not only this project but machine learning in general…

      That being said, to answer your one actual question:

      This post represents my best estimate of what will happen based on the best available data that I gathered, combined, collated, re-shaped, ran through custom functions, and spit back out without any prejudice on my end whatsoever.

      Unlike ( apparently ) you, I can separate political bias from data analysis.

      In other words, time will prove me right or wrong, but it won’t be because I can’t see anything without red or blue tinted glasses.

    FiveThirtyEight gives your scenario a 2.2% chance of happening…

      Not bad considering their best guess only has a 2.6%

      My 2.2% is well within their actual box 🙂

        and it gives me 2.6 chance in the Deluxe Model!

    It looks like your model is not figuring in Donald Trumps negative approval rating. Incumbent presidential negative rating has been directly correlated to wave midterm elections.

      And Donald Trump’s approval rating is starting to tank right after I published. Doh!
