Pre-election analysis and selected results
The following are the predictions for House districts where at least one out of The Cook Political Report , the Rothenberg Political Report , Roll Call , and Sabato's Crystal Ball did not agree that the district was "safe Democrat" or "safe Republican". Ratings from the New York Times are also included
Key:
Incumbents not running for re-election have parentheses around their name;
"(Open)" means that the seat was created in a state that gained one or more seats as the result of the 2010 census;
Where two incumbents are shown, that is also because of redistricting.
Separate elections
There were five special elections in 2012. Winners will have a seniority advantage over other freshmen.
Two elections were held separate from the November elections.
