That was before additional gerrymandering so I don't know what the new breakdown is, but in order to change Democratic districts to +Republican districts, it's likely there are even more R +11 or closer districts now. With a D +11 generic ballot, a lot of these R+11 or closer districts could be in play. I think Democrats could gain even more than 40 seats.
