Real Clear Politics moved North Carolina to the Leans Romney column which now puts the former Governor of Massachusetts in the Electoral Vote lead 206-201 with 131 toss ups in 10 states.
The lead may be short-lived however as both Pennsylvania (20) and Michigan (16) are closing back in on +5 for Obama and may be put back in the President's column which would then swing 237-206.
Many of the Senate races also seem to be in doubt with RCP currently showing 11 Tossup races and the Democrats holding a 48-43 lead in the Leans or Likely races. Of the 11 toss ups, there are 7 races where the incumbent is not running, and 2 of each party where the incumbent is not running. In all there will be a minimum of 12 new Senators in 2013.
In the House, RCP projects the GOP to keep their majority by at least a 226-183 margin (currently 241-194) and 218 are needed for the majority. There are 26 races at the moment which are considered toss ups. 16 of the toss ups are Republican, 7 Democrat, 1 is new (CA41) and 2 are redistricting losses where two incumbents from different parties are running against each other (IA3) and (OH16).
