Nate Silver’s mid terms model

Nate Silver has launched his prediction model for the US mid-terms.

In the House have forecasts an 87% probability the Democrats take the House, with an average outcome of 233 seats to 202.

In the Senate it is closer, but the Democrats slightly ahead with a 56% probability the Democrats gain control of the Senate by 51 seats to 49.

He has the Democrats winning Ohio, Texas, Michigan and Maine, with the odds for each being:

  • Ohio 58%
  • Taxes 60%
  • Michigan 69%
  • Maine 70%

Will be interesting to see how they change over time.
