WHILE campaign junkies everywhere are focused on the 2022 midterm elections, I’m already thinking about the fight for the Senate in 2024. Sure, what happens in next year’s congressional elections will impact the future, as will the next presidential contest, the state of the economy and dozens of other unknowns. If you are looking for predictions here about 2024, you are looking in the wrong place. But we already know that while handicappers’ initial ratings for the Senate class of 2022 suggest a relatively even fight involving only a handful of states, the 2024 map strongly fa...

Members of the American Association for Public Opinion Research’s task force on the 2020 election revealed their initial findings on Wednesday at the trade group’s annual conference, The Wall Street Journal reported. They said that polls of the race overestimated Biden’s national support by nearly 4 percentage points in the two-week period leading up to the election.

Though his approval ratings are stabilizing with New York Democrats, we’re a long way from the ...

Buttons are pushable the way they were. you can't just push those buttons and expect the pavlovian response to happen like it did two years ago. >> it does occur to me from trump standpoint to go through the 2016 campaign being told confidently by everybody he had the most politically wreckless, politically suicidal and end up as president, it will reenforce those instincts. >> clearly the president thinks this worked for him in 2016 so why not work in 2018. midterms are not presidential races. that's why you see there's places where the president hasn't gone. he hasn't gone to florida despite...

About jones? is he going to remain as liberal as he is perceived to be? like i said, a popsicle in a sauna. he's not going to last long in alabama. he's going to have to move, right? >> marie: i think he will caucus with the democrats. i think the democratic party feels pretty good after last night. i think you are overlooking a real political reckoning that's happening in the republican party going into 2018. midterms are historically bad for incumbents. donald trump and the rnc went in behind this candidate. and moderate republicans crossed over in pretty big numbers. they didn't just write ...
