The CBS News Battleground Tracker model finds Republicans start the 2022 campaign with a lead in the race for the House, with 230 seats to 205 seats for Democrats. The party with 218 seats controls the House.we've surveyed tens of thousands of voters across them all, and connected their current preferences to the 2020 Census, district data and millions of voter records to estimate seat counts.

Independents who say the economy is bad break Republican.
Only four in 10 Democrats say their vote is based a lot on their feelings about Mr. Biden, and those who do are no likelier to be voting Democratic this year than other Democrats.Women have at best a mixed set of descriptions for Democrats right now, but use a lot of negative descriptions for Republicans.
Two-thirds of women under 50 describe the Republican Party as"extreme," the descriptor they most often selected to use for the GOP. Trump still matters to those in his own party. More Republicans feel he is fighting for the issues that matter to them than say their own party in Congress is. MAGA Republicans see the Democrats as enemies, not opposition. And they're voting more to stop Democrats than because they want Republican policies, more so than in the non-MAGA group.Is it enough for Republicans to just not be Democrats right now?
