The 2010 United States House of Representatives elections will be held on November 2, 2010, halfway through President Barack Obama's first term in office. Elections will be held for all 435 seats, representing the 50 U.S. states. Elections also will be held for the delegates from the District of Columbia and four of the five major U.S. territories. The only seat in the United States House of Representatives not up for election is that of the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, who serves a four-year term and will next face election in 2012.
The winners of this election cycle will serve in the 112th Congress.
Background
Following the 2006 elections, Democrats took control of the House as well as the Senate in the 2008 elections. This was followed by Democrat Barack Obama's victory over Republican John McCain for the presidency.
In the 2008 Congressional elections, Democrats increased their majorities in both chambers. Of the 435 congressional districts, 242 were carried by Obama, while 193 voted for McCain. Of the districts Obama won, 34 elected a Republican to the House, while 49 of the districts McCain won elected a Democrat.[1]
Heading into the 2010 elections, both major political parties have been preparing to defend seats that they risk losing. This will be the last congressional election using congressional districts that were drawn based on the 2000 census.
Retiring incumbents
37 U.S. Representatives will retire at the end of their current term and 5 vacancies will be filled by special elections before November.

Predictions
Here are some predictions for the outcome of the 2010 United States House of Representatives elections:
Overview
- Congressional Quarterly.
- Congressional Quarterly projects the Democrats will take 219 seats, the Republicans 180, and they consider 29 races too close to call.[36]
- Rothenberg Political Report.
- In April 2010, Stuart Rothenberg wrote on his blog that "... the atmospherics remain strongly behind the GOP, and major Republican House gains are extremely likely" and that "it's clear that the battleground is almost entirely on Democratic soil. Obviously, control of the House is at risk."[37]
- RealClearPolitics.
- As of August 27, 2010, RCP projects the Republicans will take 206 seats, the Democrats will take 194, and 35 races are toss-ups.[38]
- Crystal Ball
- In a September 2010 column for his newsletter, Larry Sabato wrote "Given what we can see at this moment, Republicans have a good chance to win the House by picking up as many as 47 seats, net."[39]
- Charlie Cook
- In a February 2010 interview with National Journal, he said that "it's very hard to come up with a scenario where Democrats don't lose the House. It's very hard."[40]
- On August 17, 2010, The Cook Political Report raised its House forecast to a gain of between 35 and 45 seats, with the odds of an outcome larger than that range greater than the odds of a lesser outcome.[41]
- Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight
- As of September 10, 2010, Nate Silver's prediction model projects the Republicans will win (on average) 225.3 seats, and the Democrats will win 209.7. The Republicans have a two-in-three chance of winning the majority. [42]
