Right now, New Jersey Democrats control the Assembly 52-28, they control the State Senate 24-16.
Nov. 2017:
Assembly
Democrats-55 seats (Gain D+3 seats)
Republicans-25 seats
State Senate:
25 seats (Gain D+1 seats)
15 seats
New Jersey Democrats could get a supermajority in November, but Gov. Phil Murphy could see a Republican Assembly in 2019 if voters get disillusioned despite the Democratic redistricting for the 2011 decade. A Murphy Assembly midterm in 2019 will be watched closely.
Do you have predictions for which seats flip?
Potentially 5 districts could flip in November 2017, as the gerrymandering in 2011 still is in effect. I'll take a look at some of the races and get back. Some safe R seats could be gone in a Democratic wave as well.

LD-11 if Murphy's Monmouth Democratic machine turns out. Her colleagues in the Assembly are Democrats, so her ticket could go down if Guadagno underperforms.
