This year’s midterm elections will be held in wave-election conditions, at least by the broadest definition of the term: It’s a first presidential midterm, the president’s party holds both houses of Congress, the president’s approval rating has been double-digits underwater all year, and the party out of power regained the lead in the generic ballot in late September and has been widening it since. That bodes well for Republican Senate candidates down the campaign’s home stretch, and the direction of the polls over the past month tends to confirm this.
