Democrats Face Biggest House Midterm Defeat in Year
The Republicans are poised to retake the U.S. House and narrow Democrats’ margin in the Senate, delivering a rebuke to President Barack Obama’s party in a campaign shaped by voter anxiety over jobs and the economy.
共和党在众议院胜券在握，而参议院的席位差距将大大缩小。
Republicans, who need a net gain of 39 seats to take control of the House, may pick up at least 50 in today’s elections, capitalizing on concerns about government spending and a 9.6 percent unemployment rate. The party may win as many as eight seats in the Senate, just shy of the 10 needed for a majority.
共和党可以至少赢得众议院50个席位，成为多数党；也可以在参议院赢得差不多8个席位，下次选举再赢两个参议院的席位，他们就能控制参议院。
“It’s going to be one of those elections that 10 to 15 years from now people look back and point to as a midterm bloodletting,” said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Washington-based Rothenberg Political Report. Voters “are just in a foul mood,” he said.
选民的心情很糟糕。
Amid criticism of Obama’s domestic agenda, including health-care and economic-stimulus measures, Democratic losses in the House could top the 54 seats Republicans gained in their 1994 resurgence. The Democrats’ losses could be the deepest since the 1938 midterms, when the party lost 72 seats.
民主党这次可能输得比1994年还惨，当时他们输了54个席位。在往前数就是1938年，民主党输了72个席位。
The Rothenberg Political Report predicts Republican gains of 55 to 65 seats in the House. The Washington-based Cook Political Report puts Republican House gains at 50 to 60 seats, possibly higher. Both reports see Democrats losing six to eight seats in the Senate, where Democratic leaders are working to stop Republican inroads.
报告显示，共和党可以赢55到65个众议院席位，6到8个参议院席位。
