Now gains of 15 to 20 seats seem more likely, with only trivial impact on the House.

So the Democratic goal is back to a net gain of five seats.

"A gain of three seats is the worst they'll do."

The Coalition thus had a net gain of four seats.

Democrats would need a net gain of 18 seats to control the House.

The party is currently sitting on a net gain of two seats, and one council.

Earlier, he had predicted a net gain of 10 to 40 seats.

A net gain of only six seats would give Democrats control.

On election day, Republicans made a net gain of three seats.

A gain of even two seats would give Republicans a good base for 1992.
