A new survey from the CBS News Battleground Tracker reveals that Democrats currently hold the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, leading Republicans 229 to 206 seats. The data suggests that if midterm elections were conducted today, the Democratic Party would retain control of the chamber.
Anthony Salvanto, who serves as the director of elections and surveys for CBS News, analyzed the latest polling figures which reflect the current political landscape ahead of the upcoming congressional contests.

Democrats need to hold this lead, but historically it is hard to maintain such a narrow advantage long-term.
Do we really have a solid 229 now? That number feels optimistic compared to other trackers.
Polls are just snapshots. It feels risky to get too comfortable with a three-seat margin.
This is surprising. I expected the race to be much tighter given recent economic concerns.
