Democrats Are Feeling Increasingly Bullish About Midterms

“Democrats’ wary optimism about the midterms gave way to growing confidence this week,” the Washington Post reports.

”The party has seen strong post-Labor Day polls in key battlegrounds — and even in traditionally red areas. Recent escalations in the war in Iran, including an attack on a major pipeline in Saudi Arabia, mean the rising gas prices bedeviling Republicans will not be going down anytime soon. Republicans have not been able to bring prices under control more generally. And President Donald Trump’s unpopularity is at near-record levels.”

”Considering all this, Democrats now think conditions are right for the party to retake control of the House and possibly the Senate later this year.”
