Conservative: Blue Wave ’26 Hopes Dim

“With midterm elections just about a year away,” observes USA Today’s Ingrid Jacques , odds for “a blue wave” now look “grim,” with any repeat of the 2018 wave “out of reach.”

Democrats now face “historically low marks” from voters, “and it’s hard to see them turning things around by November 2026.”

Republicans “aren’t wildly popular, either,” but “continue to outscore Democrats. In 2017, the Democrats had the advantage.”

Plus, President Trump’s “second-term approval is higher than that of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush at the same time during their second terms.”

Nor can Dems count on the government shutdown, which is “already starting to sour” for them, or “No Kings” or other protests, which lack sufficient “fervor.”
