The Pindell Report, Politicker.com's political and campaign forecast, has released its final projections for Election Day. Using polling, historical and demographic trends, tracking campaign visits and spending, The Pindell Report ranks races in terms of their competitiveness and their status as either a toss-up or leaning or likely voting in a particular way.
In New Hampshire The Pindell Report's final breakdown is as follows:
PRESIDENT:
Likely Democratic. New Hampshire is considered the 12th most competitive state in the country, down significantly from the end of summer.
U.S. SENATE:
Leans Democratic. Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen got scared in recent weeks, but she appears to be holding off Republican incumbent John E. Sununu.
U.S. HOUSE:
Both seats will remain in Democratic hands.
Ever since the September primary, the 1st Congressional District race has been slipping from Republican Jeb Bradley, who was unseated in 2006 by Carol Shea-Porter. Now the race is listed as Leans Democratic and is the 22nd most competitive race in the nation. The 2nd Congressional District race, where first-term U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes is defending his seat against Republican Jennifer Horn, has been labeled as Safe Democratic all year and is not considered competitive.
NATIONAL OUTLOOK:
The Pindell Report estimates Barack Obama will become the next president receiving at least 353 electoral votes tomorrow compared to John McCain's 174 electoral votes. The only toss-up state is Missouri. For the U.S. Senate, Pindell predicts that Democrats will pick up either 7 or 8 seats and will fall short of the 60 seats they need to end a filibuster. The only Senate race viewed as too close to call is in Minnesota. In the House, Democrats are poised to pick up at least 17 seats with 6 additional seats viewed as toss ups.
PINDELL REPORT'S COMPLETE FORECAST:
U.S. Senate | U.S. House | Governor | Presidential Swing State
