“Why are pollsters seeing this?” asks @MarkHalperin about predictions of a “blue tsunami” sweeping the midterms. “Because for whatever reason — maybe it’s that the Dallas convention backfired. Maybe it’s just voters starting to focus — there’s a lot of public and private polling data that shows the president has cratered. His approval rating is at record lows … The war is extremely unpopular. The president is extremely unpopular. And the president —  it could be the biggest miscalculation of all time — said, ‘make this race about me.’ Well, that that may not be working out so great.” @JustinSayfie @KevinPWalling
