While jems favorite pollster had republicans + 1 in the mid terms,538 had dems + 8.7.Dems won by + 8.6
Trump is below where Reagan was it this time, yet Reagan was re-elected. Trump is also well below where HW Bush was at this time, yet Bush was not re-elected. So......
Democrats won 22 races,republicans won 11 Democrats got 53 million votes,republicans got 35 million. Democrats won the Senate races in Pennsylvania,Wisconsin,Michigan,Nevada,Virginia ,Minnesota ,Arizona and Ohio in 2018,the states that will decide 2020. Dems won all of the blue senate seats. Dems won 8 of the 9 swing state senate seats and only lost the 9th by 20,000 votes Dems won red states West Virginia,Montana and Arizona and came within 2.5 points in Texas,a seat that republicans won by 25 and 16 points in the prior 2 elections. Republicans lost all blue state races,8 out of 9 swing state races and 3 red state races and only won thier biggest EC state by 2.5 points
Bottom line - we don't care how many illegals the Democrats imported to vote in these races illegally.... the total popular vote is meaningless in Senate races. The bottom line is that the Republicans now hold 53 Senates seats. A number that increased from the results of the 2018 election.
