Are Democrats’ Midterm Expectations Too High?

“Democrats are hungry for a blue wave in the November election, and a series of recent polls has them thinking they could pull off victories in some deeply red territory that would have seemed unthinkable a few months ago,” CNN reports.

“Expectations for the party are so high that one could envision a fair amount of disappointment in the party — and celebration among Republicans — if Democrats don’t shoot the moon on Election Day and take control of both chambers of Congress.”

Said David Axelrod: “I think Democrats are in striking distance in enough states to have a really good day. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they fell short of taking over the Senate.”
