Dare We Hope?

An objective analysis of the Dems' chances of taking over the House.

Democratic pollster Mark Mellman writes that poll numbers show a major wave building for Democrats in the midterms.

He points out that Democrats lost 54 House seats in 1994 when President Bill Clinton’s approval rating was at 38 percent, Democrats lost 29 seats in 1950 when President Harry Truman’s rating was 39 percent, and GOPers lost 26 seats in 1982 when Ronald Reagan was at 42 percent.

He says that no president with an approval rating below 50 percent has lost fewer than the 15 seats Democrats need to retake the House.

Be still my heart.
