MY APOLOGIES to anyone who is pissed I posted this w/o comments, details, etc. My intent no matter how bad the news might be for our side, the mainstream media delights in shoving inflammatory headlines to the front page. That's all I meant.

With just a week left until the 2022 midterm elections, the political environment appears to be eroding rapidly for Democrats – especially in areas where the party has long held sway.

“The scariest Halloween reality for House Democrats is the number of seats President [Joe] Biden carried comfortably in 2020 that are at genuine risk a week out,” wrote Dave Wasserman, the House editor at the Cook Report with Amy Walter, a nonpartisan campaign tipsheet.

To that end, Wasserman shifted race ratings for 10 Democratic-held seats into more jeopardy – including three apiece in the Democratic redoubts of California and New York.

On the same day Wasserman made his changes, Gallup released a report that suggests the political winds are all blowing in Republicans’ direction.

The numbers are daunting for Democrats:

* Just 40% of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing as president.

* Only 17% express satisfaction with how things are going in the US.

* 49% say the state of the economy is “poor.”

* A meager 21% approve of the job the Democratic-led Congress is doing.
