The Rothenberg Political Report has some new rankings for several New England races. He has moved the Massachusetts governors’ race to likely takeover, along with Arkansas, Colorado, New York and Ohio. Maryland “leans takeover.”
The Rhode Island senate race now “leans takeover” along with Virginia, Montana, and Missouri. Ohio and Pennsylvania are likely takeovers.
Rothenberg predicts a 34-40 seat gain in the House of Representatives. In New England seats on the list of competitive races:
VT-AL Democrate Favored.
CT-05 Toss-Up Tilt Democratic
NH-02 Toss-Up Tilt Democratic
CT-04 Pure Toss-Up

As noted here
that VT-AL isn’t a pickup. Sanders, a socialist, caucuses with the Dems. So, it will go from I-Dem to Dem. The other three, however, are currently held by members of the GOP.
He has that is lean Dem, but that would be a pickup–knocking out 12-year incumbent Nancy Johnson on Northwest Connecticut!
Reading this makes me think, “Who cares what they say?” First, Massachusetts “leans” take over? So 25 points is not enough of a lock?

Montana leans take-over? Bad news folks, Burns has been surging. Gone are Tester’s double digit leads.

And the news out of Missouri is not good.

All in all I don’t quite think there’s much information of value here.
