Be careful about getting too excited over new midterm polls. Apply your tempered expectations to congressional polls in general. Current polls show Americans find Congress to be as popular as cancer, or worse, baristas who get your name wrong at Starbucks. Despite your burned half-calf decaf soy latte, most congresspeople get reelected because everyone loves their own Congressman. It’s just the other guys who suck. Am I right?!
But this poll is going to send Democrats to the nearest safe space.
Nationwide, Trump has a 41 percent approval rating, and Democrats have a 53-42 percent edge in the generic ballot for the House.
Make sense. Unpopular president. Majority of the country opposes his party. This is normal and usually happens in the first midterm election after a new president is elected. Okay? Okay. So hold your panic horses for my explanation.
Conventional wisdom flips on its head when looking at battleground districts that will decide who controls Congress next year. Read it and weep:
But inside the 66 districts that are tossups, or only leaning toward one party or the other — the majority makers, or breakers — that [Democrat] lead evaporates into a 46-47 Democrats v. Republicans race.
Oh, snap, dats bad.
It appears leftists only appealing to their rabid urbanite base, while the media broadcasts the unhinged lunacy to the rest of America, wasn’t as brilliant as Ziploc bags. But is as brilliant as Warren bragging about her native heritage, which is actually lower than the common American.
The above poll isn’t the first poll to spoil Democrats’ wet dream of a big blue wave
