Democrats brace for disaster: With six days until the midterms...
• https://www.dailymail.co, By ELIZABETH ELKINDWith just six days left until the November 8 midterms, polls show Republicans are enjoying a last-minute wave of voter enthusiasm that could carry them to victory in the Senate and House of Representatives.
The GOP had for months been forecasted to take back the House, but Democrats saw hope in enough Senate races to avoid a foregone conclusion of total defeat.
As of Wednesday, however, that appears to have changed.
Rising crime and concerns about the state of the economy - including inflation - appear to have won out as the top issues for likely voters.
Polls have projected a discontent among Americans with how Democrats have handled both. Though neither party has seemed to net a decisive majority on public trust to stop rising crime and fix the economy, the vast majority of surveys show voters favor the GOP to oversee them.
Republicans are now projected to pick up four seats in the Senate, according to RealClearPolitics, for a total of 54 GOP lawmakers to 46 Democrats - including the two Independents that caucus with the left.
The poll aggregator's latest analysis shows Republicans flipping Senate seats in Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia and Arizona. All four states have Democratic incumbents being challenged by GOP candidates aligned with Donald Trump.
