Five weeks ago the Democrats had an enormous 13-point advantage over the Republicans in RealClearPolitics’ average of polling. If the midterm elections happened then it would have flipped both houses of Congress.



The Democratic advantage now is 7.3 points — still big, but the lowest it has been since last July.

At the same time, Trump’s getting more popular.

Before you say "well, it's still seven percent" consider the trend. If it keeps up just one more month then Dems are looking at a 2% lead, and that won't buy you a cup of coffee.

In fact, the most recent poll showed exactly that.



In a look ahead to 2018, Democrats currently hold a negligible edge on the generic Congress ballot. If the election for House of Representatives were held today, 47% of registered voters say they would vote for or lean toward voting for the Democratic candidate in their district compared to 45% who would support the Republican. This marks a dramatic shift from last month, when Democrats held a 15 point advantage on the generic ballot (51% to 36%).

"The generic Congressional ballot is prone to bouncing around for a bit until the campaign really gets underway later this year. But Democrats who counted on riding public hostility toward the tax bill to retake the House may have to rethink that strategy," said Murray.

This Gallup poll from a few weeks ago reinforced this trend away from the Dems.

fivethirtyeight.com even asked if the Democrats should panic.

Why the change?

Maybe it's because of the way establishment Dems and the McResistance likes to sell out progressives for their corporate masters.

Here's a twist, sports fans.

Maybe, just maybe, there's nothing wrong with the Democratic Wave.

What do I mean by that?

Consider this NBCnews headline: Democrats say their mountain of cash looks like a wave

So maybe we're just looking at the wrong "Democratic Wave".

The Dems are doing just fine in the "wave" that matters.
