In an important indicator down ticket, it should be noted that currently 14 of the top 16 most popular governors of states are Republican while the bottom five, least popular, include four Democrats--Kate Brown of Oregon being the least popular in the US--and one Republican.

This too indicates that the Democrats are in for a massive pounding in November. People just don't like them, and it isn't just Joke they're mad at.

When was the last time the party in office do well in midterms elections?

Historically, and demographically, aided by the recent gerrymandering efforts, next November will be a bad election for the Democrats, but if you have lived long enough, you know that the pendulum swings both ways, and what goes in one direction will return in the other

This is particularly bad given historical precedent. Both Clinton's and Obama's first term midterms saw those Presidents with far more popularity than Biden has now. The situation with governors was nowhere near as bad for Democrats then either. If history is any indicator, the Democrats are looking at a complete stomp down this time.

Blah, blah, blah.

Another day, another "just you wait & see!" post.

There are so many protected seats now. If the GOP does anything besides the usual mid-term gain, I'll be surprised. Especially since most of the party is still operating out of a rabbit hole.

No, it's a prediction predicated on historical precedent. That's how statistics works. You take existing, known, data and extrapolate future likelihood outcomes from it.

There is no "wait and see" here Bartender. democrats WILL lose the midterms. By a large margin. They always do.

They lose midterms when they're in power. They win them when they're out of power.

In a remarkable coincidence, Republicans win midterms when they're out of power, and tend to lose them when they're in power.

No. That is not set in stone at all. What is though is this fact. Every single time democrats have control of the Presidency, house and Senate they lose next election. Every, single time.

Quick - without looking, can you name the last time the party out of power did NOT pick up seats?

You should check the history. Since WWII, the President's party has averaged losing 25 seats in the midterm.

No need to try and spin what I said. Every time democrats controlled the Presidency, the house and senate they were (and will be again) soundly beaten next election. Always because they fuck themselves. Every, single......time. Refute it if you can.
 
Leaders who clearly dont give a flying fuck about us almost always gets to be a problem to people.

All of the lying does too.

It's not spin. The President's party ALWAYS loses the midterms. It's as predictable as anything.

You make it sound like it's either only Democrats, or mainly Democrats. Which is, of course, a partisan take. It's both parties, pretty much every time (with 1 exception in the past 4 decades).

But the difference is the Republicans lose by narrow majorities, while the Democrats tend to be stomped into the ground.

Hmm, I don't know. This from a link within your source article: https://morningconsult.com/2021/11/18/phil-scott-approval-vermont-polling-senate-race/

No one saw Jimmy Carter coming.
No one thought Slick Willy could get a 2nd term, much less Obama.

We'll see.
