‘Blue Wave’ Anticipated As New Polls Show Democrats 14 Percent Higher Than Republicans
A “Blue Wave” is looking more and more likely in November, as new polling results show Democrats enjoying a 14 percent lead over Republicans in advance of the 2018 midterm elections, ABC News is reporting.
According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, Democrats nationally hold a 52-38 percent advantage over Republicans in aggregate among all House of Representatives seats. Similarly, 60 percent of registered voters say they would rather see both houses of Congress controlled by Democrats after 2018.
That could spell doom for the Trump administration. At the very least, having both houses of Congress controlled by the opposition party would make it difficult, if not impossible, for Trump to advance his agenda. In a broader sense, however, a “Blue Wave” could make impeachment much more likely, as Democrats have been reluctant to discuss it while their opponents control Congress. More than one congressional Democrat has said that there’s no point in even talking about impeachment until after the 2018 midterm elections.
