The model shows an even higher chance of Republicans taking back the House of Representatives (64 percent), and the Senate (a whopping 80 percent).
The model is a slight modification of the framework Decision Desk HQ used for the 2020 and 2022 elections, using roughly 200 different data points, including voter registration numbers, demographics, past election results, fundraising and polling averages.
The model finds that Trump is leading Biden in six battleground states that are likely to decide the election – Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada – but by “narrow” margins of less than two points.

Scott Tranter, Director of Data Science at Decision Desk HQ said: hill A prediction is only a snapshot in time, such as test scores.
“It’s like taking a meaningless test or getting a meaningless grade in school,” he said. hill“Nobody is voting today, nobody is choosing a president or a senator. If they were choosing today, this is how I would probably hand them out.”
Tranter said Republicans should be happy with the status quo but also not take anything for granted because a two or three percentage point change in some states could dramatically affect the projections.
“It’s a good reference point,” he told media. “It’s good for any Democratic or Republican candidate to be able to say, ‘Hey, this is where I stand right now, but I still have six months left.'”
