Republican lead in House shrinks again as voters see high-stakes contest — CBS News Battleground Tracker

The Republicans have a lead. But it keeps shrinking. 

While they're still in a very good position to capture a House majority, that majority looks narrower today than it ever has, having ticked down for the second straight month to 223 seats in our model estimate. Republicans were at 226 in August and 230 in July.

Voters are engaged because they think the stakes are so high — for many, bigger than just affecting their pocketbooks.
