Pollster Frank Luntz has some bad news for Nancy Pelosi and Dems hoping for a “blue wave” in November. In short, Nancy Pelosi is “the least popular politician in the country and Dems “could end up bigly disappointed”:
1. The economy is at record highs.
2. Unemployment is at record lows.
3. @NancyPelosi is the least popular politician in the country.The #BlueWave could end up bigly disappointed in 2018… https://t.co/cNKeadVv41

Can the GOP keep it together for 6 months? Fingers crossed:
As @NancyPelosi clings to power of the Democratic Party, younger generations of @TheDemocrats are shut out from moving their party forward.
If the @GOP can keep their party together for 6 more months, they will keep their House majority. https://t.co/OTunAcqAyf

Luntz linked to an appearance with Laura Ingraham where he pointed out that all Dems have to run on is “obstruction”:

Here’s where things currently stand in the House:
To win the House majority in 2018, @TheDemocrats need to flip 24 GOP-held seats.
Currently, there are 23 GOP-held seats marked as “toss-ups” and 6 additional GOP-held seats marked as “likely Dem” or “leaning Dem.” The margin for error is tiny.https://t.co/sdKpJUiuGZ pic.twitter.com/ER1k1YBLCx

And there was some good news in California yesterday where Republican John Cox secured a spot on the ballot in the governor’s race and that will help down-ballot candidates in swing districts even if Cox has no shot at winning:
John Cox lands 2nd place in California governor “jungle primary,” where the top 2 advance to the general election.
Good news for congressional Republicans, as it will spur GOP voters to the polls in November. (GOP is defending 10 California House seats.)https://t.co/D5XxlWxSTN pic.twitter.com/mfhIGd4viA
