When and where exactly they arrival be different but theyre moving faster than the first a we talked when they were only doing 20 miles a day. Thank you for that update. Two days before the midterms, democrats are hoping a blue wave will lead them to a new balance of power in the house. Republicans currently hold 235 seats and the democrats have 193. 29 braces are listed as tonsils with all but one seat belonging to a democrat incumbent. Democrats need to flip 23 republican seats to take the chamber. In the senate, experts think the likelihood of democrats taking control are much slimmer. Republicans currently hold a 51 seat majority meeting democrats would need a net gain of four seats to take control of the chamber. There are 35 senate seats up for grabs across 33 states. And fox power ranking have tossups listed in arizona, florida, missouri, nevada and indiana. That race in indiana happens to be one of the hottest tossup races in the country. Mike tobin is in indiana now and has the very least on what we can expect. Reporter the very latest is that the Indiana Democratic Party is adopting a tactic attempting to split the conservative vote. An ad is circulating highlighting the thirdparty candidate. A libertarian, lucy brenton whos been included in debate but has not polled within striking distance of a win. It claims brenton is the candidate for low taxes, not the republican mike braun. President trump waited on twitter. Has it that senator joe donnelly the democrat is paying for facebook ads for his socalled opponent on the libertarian ticket. Hes trying to steal the election. Isnt that what russia did . Lucy brenton tweeted, i dislike tactics that i dislike being marginalized by potus. Start acting like a buffoon on twitter. The Democratic Party has owned the ad and say they are factual and that shes the true conservative choice for indiana. The Republican Party shows senator donnelly cant win on his own merits and is trying to trick hoosier voters. This race is a tossup and important for both parties because they bring out the big guns. In a short time, president barack obama will speak trying to rally the base in favor of donnelly despite the fact he bows he is voted with President Trump more than half the time. President trump will make two stops on his lastminute barnstorming tour and indian in fort wayne tomorrow. As in indiana and elsewhere, campaigns making the final push to appeal to voters and hammer the message home. From the governors race to key congressional battles, atlas are keeping aclose watch on thi final stretch for tuesday. What should we look out for when it comes to the polls . For more info, lets bring in bonnie lonnie chen. With likely voters, that number has been declining. What do you expect because you know as polls in the past have been unreliable. These polls will bounce all over the place and certainly what weve seen in the polling is some compression which suggests the two sides are beginning to hone in on their closing arguments and messages. But the reality here is its all about turnout. Im sure youve heard this before. But really the question of who is able to control the congress on the house side in particular is a function of turnout. If Republican Voters get out there and they turn out to vote, republicans will do better than expected. If they dont and democrats out turnout the republicans, then youll see obviously a result thats less favorable for the republicans. This is a turnout game. Because it is a turnout game at this stage we hear that turnout has been at record numbers in the early voting. For example, in Dallas County been up 325 percent. Harris county 213 percent. Is there any way to differentiate who that helps . Republicans say it helps them and democrats it helps their party. It entirely depends on the state of the demographic. Its difficult to tell you what i would say is obviously, if were seeing early energy and some of the states. That could be good news for the republicans been arizona is a great example where we are seeing early turnout that outpaces 2060 numbers even amongst Republican Voters. That will help Martha Mcsally. The republican candidate in arizona. But in a lot of states, republican analysts believe theres good reason to see, a good possibility for republican favorable outcome on election day because of the early turnout numbers. Lets look at the favorables that President Trump handles key battleground states. North dakota for example. Hes way up there at 61 percent. Missouri 54 point arizona 52. Indiana, 50. We just heard from mike tobin on that race. How does a 50 percent break even in indiana help against the race with joe donnelly. Its going to be a close race in indiana. The fundamentals we have to keep coming back to our that the popularity of the president have a huge impact on Midterm Election outcomes. When looking at the states. Youve mentioned a number of them where President Trump is very popular. Indiana is a great example. That will help the republican candidate time and again. That is the dynamic to keep coming back to, which is these are states where the president is certainly up for reelection in some ways. His record, is up before the voters. If hes doing well, that will be an advantage for the republican candidate in those states. What do you think will happen tuesday . I think republicans will do very well on the senate side but i think they will retain their majority and pick up anywhere between 23 seats. On the house side, tough to say. At present, you have togive the democrats a slight edge but that could change given how turnout looks over the next several days. We will be staying up late no matter what on tuesday. Two to see you lonnie. Thank you. Stay up late and keep it right here on fox news ahead of the election. Chris wallace talks to douglas and senator at 2 00 p. M. Eastern. Tonight at 8 00 p. M.
