Other interesting thing: I’m looking at Gallup approval of Obama/Trump. Obama had 67% approval on his first day. This had eroded to 45% by this point in his presidency. Trump had a 45% approval on his first day. This has eroded to 42% now. According to Gallup. Media is failing.

Also: they have roughly comparable (low) numbers among independents at this point. And Dems did get btfo in 2010 midterms. So this could be bad news. But O did slightly better w/ Reps than Trump is w/ Dems now. But O did much worse w/ Dems than Trump w/ Reps now. (80 v 90 apprv).

Dems lost big in both Obama midterms. Reps most big in 2006 under W. The conventional wisdom is the prez’s party loses congress in the first midterm they face. A trend that is rarely bucked. But Trump is a trend bucker.
