Political strategist Karl Rove congratulated himself on Wednesday for getting 10 predictions right for this year and he forecast that Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives and end up with as many as 51 seats in the Senate in next year's congressional elections.
For 2014, President Barack Obama's "disapproval rating will end higher than this week's 53 percent" in the Gallup poll, Rove said in an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal. "Republicans will keep the House with a modest pickup of four to six seats.
"The GOP will most likely end up with 50 or 51 Senate seats (in the former case, keeping Vice President Joe Biden fully occupied for two years presiding over the chamber)," Rove added. "Control of the Senate may not be decided until December's Louisiana runoff.
"Propelled by union contributions, Democrats will outspend Republicans overall in House and Senate races."

I get the feeling his "source" is the same guy who ran the unskewed polls website.
