Washington (CNN) — Favorable views of the Democratic Party have dropped to their lowest mark in more than a quarter century of polling, according to new numbers from a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Only 37% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Democrats, down from 44% in March of this year. A majority, 54%, have an unfavorable view, matching their highest mark in polls from CNN and SSRS, CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup stretching back to 1992.

So the US Voter is like "We hate you but still prefer you to the Republicans".

Actually, deep down, every American is missing the Scholarly, Comforting, Altruistic Presence of Hussain Obama. Even a Richard Spencer would trust Obama to have his back in a crisis than a fellow Deplorable.

So the Democrat Wave is also like a "We miss you Obama and we hate you for not being President again" kind of thing.

Just messing with you JWH, don't go all
"O Bomber" ballistic now.

Vote share has seen dramatic change.
From 66 to 38 in favor of Republicans, and a strong bias towards GOP in the non-Presidential elections, it is remarkable to flip so many seats. [118 year record].

There is an undercurrent of resentment with the GOP leading to excess Democrat Voter Turnout which will sway the swing seats in coming elections.

Had the same vote shares been prevalent as 2016, then the argument holds that it is nothing to cheer about for Democrats.

Many Republican counties have shifted to Democrat in this election.

Latino Vote Share shift due to Puerto Rico mishandling will be another factor in 2018.

That's rich. Blue state Virginia, with a democrat Governor...elected a democrat Governor and leftists are crowing about the great victory over the Republican who wasn't expected to win in the first place.

Of course, leftists never wanted to talk about this:

Because the real power center is the Congress of the United States and the Presidency...not state Governors or state legislatures.

9% margin of defeat of Main Candidate Ed Gillespie has to be a massive shift. Had it been 2-3% then yes, no big deal.

A massive shift from what?

A democrat candidate replaces a democrat Goveernor...in a blue state.

Just so we're clear about this, Gillespie wasn't a Trump supporter. Gillespie is a establishment, globalist, America last swamp dweller. The republican base did not turn out to vote for Gillespie. He's exactly the kind of so called republican, RINO, the base is trying to get out of offices across the country.

THIS IS THE MASSIVE SHIFT. Those who were undecided in 2016 at the last moment either avoided voting (some were Bernie fans) or chose Trump to be an Agent of Change from Status Quo.
In 2017, they are seeing that there is more Chaos/Uncertainty than governance, and hence are reverting back to the Democrats.

Which is exactly why Democrats are finally gaining at the local level in Red Counties after so many decades. Even in Virginia they flipped the Red Counties by a record margin.

And in 2020, Florida will go to Democrats thanks to the "Swing" from Puerto Ricans moving there in full swing.

In some Swing States, the margin of victory for GOP was the number of Latino Citizens who voted for Trump, the Deplorably inhuman treatment of Puerto Ricans (1000+ dead from lack of relief) after the Storm is guaranteed to give 95% of their vote to the Democrats.

In India, we saw this trend in University elections. The Youth fell for India's Right wing Fuhrer Modi who promised 2 million jobs a year. In three years, we have had job reduction than growth. When questioned, the answer from the RW is "Look at the Stock Markets, they are at record highs in India". Problem is the Market moved thanks to Pension Funds buying only the Index Stocks and Foreign Direct Investment routed in to stocks than Infrastructure and Rural Sector.
So in 7 University Elections where the Indian RW called "BJP" won everything in 2014, 2015, and 2016, there have been record losses. Never before have they lost every single seat in 7 prestigious Universities, which represent 20% of the National Voting trend in Urban sectors of India. They lost even in the Prime Ministers University!

I think this has merit. Also, the Latinos who believed kicking the status quo would benefit them.

One can expect 60-70% recovery in the 1035 lost Seats by 2020, and expect gains beyond 1035 seats by 2022. Just extrapolating from the flipped seats so far.

Extrapolating from a few pickups in blue states, blue counties and blue cities?

Extrapolate this:

Have you not experienced our current state of affairs??

Extrapolate all you want.
