Analysis

Only a couple flips since my last map (which was ages ago, the race has been fairly static!), with most the action being in the toss/lean map.

Any prediction for Obama to get 330+ EVs is also a prediction that the Dems will retake the House.

The last time I looked at RCP, in its "Top 25 House Seats Most Likely To Flip" there were 10 Dem seats and 15 Repub ones -- meaning that the Dems would gain 5 seats. They need 25 to get Nancy her giant mallet back.

Your declaration that a 330+ EV win yields a dem house does not necessarily follow. This is primarily due to the post 2010 redistricting where a good many states acted to shore up Republican gains in the 2010 mid terms. As such, due to gerrymandering, its much more difficult for large swings in the house and such will be true until at least mid decade, and probably later. To over come that threshold, a true land slide would be necessary for the Dems (aka 400+ EV win).

There were large swings in 2006 (+30 seats for the Democrats) and 2010 (+63 seats for the Repubs) -- despite the fact that Repubs dominated re-districting after the 2000 census. The Repubs are now at their highest number of Representatives since the 1947-48 Congress -- and Truman with a narrow victory in 1948 brought something like ... wait, I'll check ... 75 seats! to the Democrats.

2006, 2010, and 1948 are all elections that take place a number of years after redistricting. As such, there is plenty of time for partisan shifts to happen away from the districts gerrymandered the previous redistricting cycle. So your evidence really doesn't make any sense given the context of this election.

Hah, now 538 has caught up to my prediction! Go me!
