Election ratings
Latest published ratings for competitive seats
Several sites and individuals publish ratings of competitive seats. The 93 seats listed below are considered competitive (not "safe" or "solid") by at least one of the rating groups. Of the remaining 342 seats, 167 are considered "safe" Democratic, and 175 "safe" Republican. These ratings are based upon factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan history of the district (the Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) is one example of this metric). Each rating describes the likelihood of a given outcome in the election.
In total there are 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 218 are needed for a majority, while 290 seats are needed for a two-thirds supermajority (if all members are sitting and voting).
