This election is all about Trump, not the economy;
New evidence indicates that the midterm elections in seven weeks will be the clearest referendum on a president in at least 80 years.
But while it may delight the narcissistic president that the 2018 midterms are entirely about him, this is precisely what his fellow Republicans were hoping to avoid. With Trump’s support at historic lows – 60 percent overall disapprove of his performance, including 59 percent of independents - Republicans scrambling to hold the House and Senate have been struggling in vain to make the election about other issues: tax cuts, Democrats’ personal foibles - anything to avoid the election being about Trump.
This has failed, bigly.

You mention Ronald Reagan. Around midterm elections 1982, Reagan had an approval rating around 42%. Republicans, already at a 243-192 disadvantage in the House, lost at additional 26 seats. Democrats gained 1 Senate seat.
Today Donald Trump's approval rating sits at 40.1% according to FiveThirtyEight which summarizes all polls. |
That does show the power of President Reagan winning a MASSIVE 1984 election(49 of 50 states)largest electorial college vote ever.. with a minority in the house. I don't know if we will EVER see a victory like this again...that is a serious ass whipping!!
The Trump approval is alone party lines with a strong Rep and a weak DEM.
I tend to agree with you on personality...not fond of it but there is no comparison between him and Shillary.
He definitely is no Ronald Reagan, but in my life time there was only one Ronald Reagan and probably won't be another.
I don't know if you think there punishing congress members for trump...this all depends on the information in the newly released FISA document that might be a bomb shell against the Dems.
