With less than one week before election day, Larry Sabato’s crystal ball is moving 21 House, Senate, and Governors’ races toward the Democrats. Sabato tells CNN’s Erin Burnett the shift is happening because “people are unhappy, and frankly they’ve been unhappy for some time.”

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten breaks down the accuracy of race ratings in past elections and explains what this year’s ratings are likely going to mean on election day. Also, CNN’s Jake Tapper identifies what factors he’s looking at as the midterm campaigns sprint to the finish line.
