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 Kentucky, The Pindell Report's final breakdown is as follows:
PRESIDENT:
Safe Republican. While all eyes will be trained on the results of Kentucky's U.S. Senate race, the battle for the White House may go largely unnoticed here: Republican John McCain should safely defeat Democrat Barack Obama.
U.S. SENATE:
Leans Republican. If Democratic candidate Bruce Lunsford beats U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, it would be the biggest upset of the cycle. But going into Election Day, the Republican incumbent holds the edge.
U.S. HOUSE:
2nd Congressional District. Leans Republican. State Sen. Brett Guthrie should be able to hold onto this blood-red district Tuesday night, but not after getting a scare from Democratic state Sen. David Boswell.
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 21 seats with 6 seats viewed as toss-ups.
PINDELL REPORT'S COMPLETE FORECAST:
U.S. Senate | U.S. House | Governor | Presidential Swing States
