(#6286) As we get closer to the midterms democrats are still building momentum!

      When this political cycle began last year aimed at gauging the sentiment of trump and his return to power, the ebb and flow of how the trump reign would sustain or diminish began to show. The ebb has appeared to be the result as trump's victory tide is receding while democrat's resurgence is flowing in. This year in the battle for the Senate the republicans currently control a majority of the 100 seats with 53. They also have a sympathetic ally in democrat fetterman. So for the democrats to retake the Senate they would need somewhere at or above 5 seat addition that on the face of it appeared unlikely last year.
     However, with sentiment growing for democrats and against republicans the once unthinkable outcome of a democratic majority coming out of this midterm election is being reevaluated. In more traditional times the republicans would be picking up seats given the advantage they have in these many red state Senate elections this cycle. But the ebb is working against the republicans now and as their popularity has diminished so has their chance of adding to their majority. Instead of leading in states they have recently won they are running behind and falling further back with each passing week. What was a strong map for them this midterm has instead become strong for the democrats.
     So now instead of democrats actually starting to lead in percentages to retake the Senate, they are closing in on much more. Lean republican Senate seats are now into lean democrat Senate seats. Even more troubling for republicans is that likely republican Senate seats are on the verge of becoming tossups with months to go before voting starts. So not only are democrats poised to win the majority back in the Senate by that 5 seat necessary total, they are looking at possibly a much higher seat addition. All indications were that the republican party was in trouble for the midterms early on and that trouble is still growing into something akin to a blowout election for democrats. It is still early in this cycle but the momentum is clearly growing for democrats!
