NY-19, OH-13: CQ Shifts Ratings In More Races
It just keeps on coming: CQ Politics has now shifted ratings in two more House races. CQ has moved the race in New York's 19th, where GOP Rep Sue Kelly is fending off former rock star John Hall, from "Republican Favored" to "Leans Republican": "Far more tangential and less publicized, but still potentially damaging politically, is the question of whether Kelly herself knew about Foley’s lewd behavior during her tenure as Republican chairwoman of the House Page Board from 1998 to 2001." And CQ has also moved Ohio's 13th, where Dem Betty Sutton is battling GOPer Craig Foltin for the seat of Dem Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, from "Leans Democratic" to "Democrat Favored." Question: When was the last time CQ changed its ratings to favor the GOP?
"Question: When was the last time CQ changed its ratings to favor the GOP?"
It hasn't happened very often this year.
Since a special report on the midterm elections that was published in the April 24 issue of CQ Weekly, CQPolitics.com has changed its ratings on 12 Senate races, with nine clearly moving in the Democrats’ direction. The ratings have been changed during that period on 36 House races, and they have moved in the Democrats’ direction in 35 of them.
