Two New York GOP House seats deemed a "toss-up" [View all]

The odds are decreasing of Republicans holding the congressional seats represented by John Faso and Claudia Tenney, according to an analysis by CQ Roll Call.

The 19th and 22nd Congressional districts moved from “tilt” Republican to a “toss up” on Tuesday, as Roll Call upgraded the Democratic chances in 30 districts and improved the Republican outlook in two races. Faso is squaring off against attorney Antonio Delgado and Tenney is going against Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi.

“Their re-election chances shouldn’t be regarded as any better than a toss up at this point,” said Nathan L. Gonzales, an election analyst for Roll Call.

The race between Faso and Delgado is also regarded as a toss-up by FiveThirtyEight’s new forecasting model. Their forecast gives the edge to Brindisi over Tenney, calculating a 70 percent chance of victory for the Democrat at this point.
