With this year’s midterm elections on the political horizons, many Americans have weighed in on whether or not Democrats or Republicans ought to fret. However, one Fox News op-ed writer believes that Democrats, and not Republicans, should be more concerned.
2018 Midterm Elections, Democrats, and Republicans
Politicians on both sides of the aisle are all too eager to opine whether or not Republicans or Democrats will emerge as the victors of this year’s upcoming midterm elections. Either Republicans will retain (or strengthen) their control of the House and Senate or Democrats will regain control of one (or both) of these factions of Congress.
In order for Republicans to lose control of the House, they would have to cease to retain at least 24 seats. However, the GOP would only have to lose two Senate seats in order for the Democrats to regain control.
As noted by Fox News, history has proven that the party which lacks Congressional control usually emerges as the victor of midterm elections. Nevertheless, the 15 point advantage that Democrats once had over the GOP has evaporated. Some people have attributed the aforementioned former lead to “poll bias.”
