Democrats Face Midterm Disappointment

As they look to the midterm elections, Republicans have reason to worry -- but not despair.

They're going to be fighting uphill all the way to hold onto their majority in the House, which they currently control by the razor-thin margin of just six seats.

That includes one member, California Rep. Kevin Kiley, who officially left the GOP but still caucuses with the party.

"Fragile" hardly does justice to the state of the GOP's House majority.

Democrats look at President Donald Trump's approval ratings and exult:

As of early May, exactly six months before the midterms, Trump's approval in the RealClearPolitics polling averages was an anemic 40.7%, and since then polls have shown him slipping further.
