These are among the handful of House incumbents whose seats are considered in jeopardy in Tuesday's elections. A scattering of lawmakers face well-financed opposition and, in some cases, home-state political circ*mstances that may make re-election difficult.

Of the 401 House members seeking re-election, fewer than one in 10 faces anything approaching a realistic threat of defeat. Of the 34 seats with no incumbent running, barely half are in danger of a switch in party control. These numbers reduce the Democratic Party's chances' of making a net gain of 11 seats to retake control of the House.

The House now has 228 Republicans, 206 Democrats and 1 independent.
