A new poll debunks the Democratic Party’s claim that the November midterm elections will witness a “blue wave” sweeping across America.

“Democrats and left-leaning news outlets are pushing the idea of a ‘blue wave’ in the 2018 midterm elections,” TheBlaze reported. “The narrative is that – due to discord in President Donald Trump’s administration and Republican ranks – Democrats will make steep gains in Congress this November, but a new poll surveying party support ahead of the midterm elections show no such ‘wave’ exists.”

Poll provides reality check

Overconfidence by the Democratic Party some six months ago – in reaction to its double-digit lead witnessed a year before midterms over Republicans from an October Fox News poll – is now getting a reality check.

On Sunday, the results of Fox News’ latest poll divulged an altogether different story, diminishing Democrats’ so-called blue tidal wave to a mere ripple of blue – just eight months out from the 2018 midterms.

“Last October, the poll found that Democrats held a 15-point advantage over Republicans in each congressional district – 50 percent to 35 percent – with the remaining respondents undecided or decided on candidates not in either party,” TheBlaze’s Chris Enloe recollected from Fox News’ poll last fall.

Several short months later, the tides have turned, and if the trend continues, the flattening blue crest could turn into a crimson tide.

“But in the latest poll, conducted about six months later, Democrats now only hold a five-point advantage – 46 percent to 41 percent – with 13 percent undecided or committed to a different party,” Enloe reported from the latest Fox News poll.

Still riding the deceptive blue wave?

Regardless of the changing tide, left-leaning journalists are still riding the blue wave for all it’s worth, as witnessed by some of the nation’s most popular progressive news agencies, as pointed out by TheBlaze:

Salon: 2018 blue wave watch: Dems flip 2 more seats, aim for key win

Vox.com: “But with signs of a blue wave potentially ready to hit Texas along with the rest of the country during the 2018 midterms, some political observers are wondering whether Texas Republicans’ dramatic gerrymandering could backfire.”

The Washington Post: Republicans are in denial about a blue wave

These are in addition to a December declaration by Democratic National Committee (DNC) CEO Jess O’Connell, who said his party is building and preparing for a “big blue wave” this November.

Still some work ahead to usher in a red wave …

Despite the positive news for Republicans in the latest Fox News poll that they are in the midst of staging a comeback, President Donald Trump and the GOP still have some work to do heading into this fall’s midterms – let alone, the 2020 presidential election. To the average American, he looks good, in regards to taxes and the economy, but revamped messaging to get more voters on board with his conservative agenda on other major issues might be in order for the first-term Republican president.

Here are some major findings that the Fox News’ poll results uncovered Sunday:

Trump’s job as president: 45 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove

Trump on the economy: 51 percent approve, 44 percent disapprove

Trump on taxes: 48 percent approve, 46 percent disapprove

Trump on international trade: 42 percent approve, 49 percent disapprove

Trump on guns: 40 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove

Trump on immigration: 41 percent approve, 55 percent disapprove

Trump on North Korea: 41 percent approve, 49 percent disapprove

Left still riding Dems’ dailies

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is still holding onto numbers skewed in the Democrats’ favor – as fervently as it did in the months before the 2016 presidential election, when it convinced many Americans that then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was riding a comfortable double-digit lead over Trump.

“Our latest NBC/WSJ poll finds Democrats with a 10-point lead in congressional preference, with Dems holding the advantage in enthusiasm and among independents, and with college-educated white women breaking heavily against the GOP,” NBC News reported last week. “But there’s another ominous sign for Republicans in our poll: They’re losing ground on the congressional-preference question in GOP-held congressional districts.”

NBC also insists that the blue party boasts the most enthusiastic cheerleaders – if that is any indication of winning an election.

“Sixty percent of Democratic voters say they have a high degree of interest in the upcoming elections – registering either a ‘9’ or ‘10’ on a 10-point scale – versus 54 percent of Republicans who say the same thing,” the NBC report on the poll results noted. “In addition, 64 percent of 2016 Clinton voters say they have a high level of interest, compared with 57 percent of 2016 Trump voters. And among independent voters, Democrats lead in congressional preference by 12 points, 48 percent to 36 percent.”

True to form, the mainstream media poll gave the GOP an ominous outlook as it edges closer to the midterms.

“In GOP-held districts, the GOP preference of 14 points in January dropped to zero: ‘Given that so much of the 2018 House battleground is in red/purple areas, the GOP being in single digits – or even – in Republican-held districts is a problem.’ That would be an understatement.”

As usual, the left-leaning pollsters indicated that the Democratic Party has a handle on the virtually every generation, as well as with women and educated adults.

“Moreover, Democrats hold huge leads among millennials (59 to 29 percent), women (57 to 34 percent), whites with a college degree (55 to 42 percent), independents (48 to 36 percent) and older voters (52 to 41 percent),” NBC’s report on its poll added. “The older voter numbers are especially problematic because older voters turn out in higher numbers in midterms than other groups and because this was previously a base of President Trump’s support (Trump won over-65 voters by a margin of 52 to 47 percent on Election Day, while Republican House candidates won this group by a 53 to 45 percent margin).”

Those conducting the poll insist that their numbers indicate Trump would have a harder time getting support at the ballot box today and in the future than he had over a year ago – a claim the president would most likely write off as more “fake news” similar to the media polls that indicated in 2016 that Clinton was a shoe in to take the White House.

“Even among groups in which the GOP leads, the GOP margin has shriveled in comparison with Trump’s Election Day numbers,” NBC’s report asserted. “The GOP leads among men by only 3 points (47 to 44 percent) in contrast with Trump’s 52 to 41 percent margin on Election Day. Even among whites with no college degree, whom Trump won by a huge margin (66 to 29 percent) and Republican House candidates won 66 to 31 percent, the GOP lead is down to 11 points (50 to 39 percent). It is only among self-described Republicans where Republicans dominate. That makes perfect sense in a way since the GOP has been governing on taxes, immigration, regulation, health care, etc. – like the whole country is CPAC.”
