[liyun]

it should be over 56%

[Bill Cai]

It may 57%

[bbohanan]

I think that the Republicans will be about 55-57%

[C Linz]

Approx 53%, but thats why we have elections, its just hard to guess.

I think the republicans may just sneak out the majority but its certainly not a guarantee. I would not be surprised at all if the democrats manage to hold on with slim majorities. A lot of the ruckus being made around the country is being made by people who would never vote democrat anyway (a angry few is louder than a happy many).

I feel like democrats are losing popularity because of the failed promises of Obama. Anything above 50% is my guess.

[Jmoses]

I would say 55% or around that.

[twalbaum]

Obama has lost favor because of his failed promises and such. He was put in office by a democratic vote, but some of the things he has proposed and done reflect a sort of republican view. So, he has lost favor among his supporters (the democrats) through failed promises and republican-like actions, while at the same time he has been trying to appeal to republicans.
I think everyone is on the right track. I don't think it will be less than 55%. We're definitely above 50%, but most likely in the 55-65 range. I chose 65 instead of a lower 60s number cause I don't think the upper limit is as important as the lower limit. I think the majority is what counts, not how much of the majority. That's not entirely true, but a good enough generalization to let me sleep at night.
