Democrats are counting down the days until the 2018 midterms.
They believe a Democrat run Congress is a lock-in.
But one poll left Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi at a loss for words.
Democrats are defending 10 Senate seats in states that Donald Trump carried in 2016.
But after their upset win in the Alabama special election, Democrats figured the political environment would allow those Democrats to hang on and poach the two GOP seats necessary for them to win control of the Senate.
Democrats running both houses of Congress would allow them to grind the Trump agenda to a halt and make a serious move towards impeaching the President.
But that dream is going up in smoke.
A brand new Morning Consult poll found that nine of the ten Democrat Senators in the states Trump won saw their approval ratings decline.
Breitbart reports:
These nine vulnerable Democratic senators up for re-election in 2018, and their corresponding drop in net approvals, are:
- Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT)has seen his net approval drop 18 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +25 in the first quarter to +7 in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)has seen her net approval drop 11 percent since the first quarter of 2017, going from +28 in the first quarter to +17 in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA)has seen his net approval drop 9 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +20 in the first quarter to +11 in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO)has seen her net approval drop 8 percent since the first quarter of 2017, going from +8 in the first quarter to zero in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)has seen his net approval drop 8 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +24 in the first quarter to +16 in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN)has seen his net approval drop 6 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +20 in the first quarter to +14 in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)has seen her net approval drop 6 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +6 in the first quarter to zero in the fourth quarter.
- Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)has seen his net approval drop 4 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +22 in the first quarter to +18 in the fourth quarter.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)has seen his net approval drop 2 percentsince the first quarter of 2017, going from +27 in the first quarter to +25 in the fourth quarter.
The drop in Democrat approval numbers comes on the heels of every Democrat voting against Trump’s tax cut bill.
The bill has gained in popularity since the American people saw corporate America hand out bonuses and creating jobs.
Companies such as Apple have credited their decisions to reinvest in America to the tax cuts and the American people are taking out their frustration on the Democrats.
A significant decline in support for Democrats will lead to Republicans holding the senate and maybe even gaining seats.
That will allow a Republican controlled senate to continue to confirm Trump’s conservative judges.
Stocking the courts with young conservatives will bring a generational impact on America.
And that has Schumer and Pelosi nervous.
