Welcome back to OnThePoint, I’m Greg C. Truax.
Democrats are reeling in the polls, their approval ratings sinking amid a glaring lack of leadership. No clear voice, no steady hand — and voters notice.
Yet Republicans should beware complacency. GOP strategist Karl Rove points out that polls show Democrats are more motivated to vote in 2026 than Republicans, and a majority of independent voters oppose GOP control of all three branches of government in Washington.
Consider history: since WWII, the president’s party has gained seats in Congress only twice — most recently in 2002.
Yes, Democrats are in trouble. But without relentless effort, Republicans risk turning a golden opportunity into another missed midterm.
