Fox News Voter Analysis: Battle for the House down to the wire
Fox News
Many House and Senate midterm elections were inconclusive early Wednesday morning, as election results in Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania will decide if Democrats obtain Senate control.
As states continued counting votes in pivotal swing districts, control of the House remained unclear as well. Political history did not favor the Democrats, as the sitting president’s party has lost seats in the House in all but three midterms over the last century.
As in recent elections, voters divided sharply by gender, education, and type of community. Men backed Republican candidates for Congress by 10 percentage points, women broke for Democrats (+4 points). Non-college voters (+10 points) and rural residents (+28 points) went for Republicans, college graduates (+9 points) and city dwellers leaned Democratic (+30 points).
