Republicans could be swamped by a “blue wave” in Congress, according to a clutch of polls which show double-digit leads for Democrats in November’s midterm e******ns.
Midwest v**ers are fuelling a growing gap between the two parties as support for Donald Trump wanes in key states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, one pollster said.
“Every way we are looking at the data, the same general pattern is emerging,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, whose latest survey showed a 12 percentage point lead for the Democrats.
“The Midwest is an area that is getting restless about what they hoped was going to occur and what they feel is not occurring,” he added.
A separate poll published on Wednesday by Quinnipiac University showed a 14-point advantage for the Democrats, while a Politico and Morning Consult survey put the party 10 points ahead.
All three polls asked v**ers whether they preferred the Democrat or Republican in their district, rather than about specific candidates.
Democrats need to gain 23 seats in the 6 November e******ns to seize control of the House of Representatives and the power to thwart President Trump’s agenda.
Historically the sitting president's party tends to lose seats in congressional midterm e******ns and some analysts believe Mr Trump's low national approval rating will impact upon Republican candidates.
“Republicans have not only been fairly silent in opposition to the president, but they’ve been driving very hard in the Senate when it comes to his Supreme Court nominee,” Mr Miringoff told NPR, which commissioned Marist’s research. “In terms of brand, they look totally in lockstep with the president – and that has become extremely clear to v**ers.”
