In December 2021, Republicans are holding an average two-point advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, there have been ten times since 1938 when the opposition party (i.e. not in control of the presidency) led on the generic ballot this far from a midterm. They would go on to win a majority of seats in the midterm all ten of those times,\u201d Enten continued.<\/p>\n<p>Enten specifically pointed to three crucial signs a red wave could be barreling its way toward the D.C. swamp: President Joe Biden\u2019s dismal approval ratings, special elections, and House retirements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>CNN credited Democrats\u2019 2018 win to then-President Donald Trump\u2019s approval rating, which Enten said was averaging 37 percent in December 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Joe Biden is not much better with an approval rating of about 42 [percent]. His is the second worst approval rating for an elected president at this point in their first term,\u201d according to the analysis.<\/p>\n<p>As far as special elections go, Republicans are doing an average of five points better than the 2020 presidential margin in an average of roughly 60 legislative and federal special elections. Before Democrats took the reins from Republicans in 2018, Democrat candidates were averaging about 10 points better than the 2016 presidential margin in more than 70 special legislative and federal special elections, Enten wrote. According to the report:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9.400479616307\">\n<p>While we still have a ways to go until the midterms, we know that the shift from the presidential baseline in special elections has been predictive of the next election. This has been true in midterms <a href=\"https:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/special-elections-so-far-point-to-a-democratic-wave-in-2018\/\">since 1994<\/a>, and a lack of a major change from the 2016 baseline during the special elections in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/articles\/2020\/10\/09\/trumps_path_to_victory_with_a_nod_to_washington_state_144400.html\">lead up to 2020<\/a> was a major red flag that Republicans weren\u2019t as in much trouble as some of the polling indicated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Similar to House Republicans in December 2017, 19 Democrats are leaving the House at the end of this Congress. Enten said, \u201cresults and polling are a big reason that politicians have or did run for the hills.\u201d He wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p>Retirements are not a perfect indicator of future midterm outcomes, but they\u2019re a sign. Elected officials are looking at the same statistics we are. They aren\u2019t likely to retire en masse, unless they sense they\u2019re going to lose power.&nbsp;<span>That\u2019s why the party that has had more elected officials retiring from public office has lost seats in eight of the last 12 midterm cycles since 1974.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The \u201cbottom line,\u201d Enten concluded, is that the opposition party has \u201cpicked up 5 or more seats in 34 of 38 midterms since 1870.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot a lot so far suggests that the 2022 midterms will be any different,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far left CNN detailed the signs of looming defeat for Democrats in the 2022 midterms in an analysis piece on Sunday, saying pretty much \u201cevery single indicator\u201d is pointing to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1116206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1116206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1116206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1116206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1116206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
