NBC’s Carrie Dann identifies something in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that could be a potential issue for Democrats in November’s midterm elections.
Potential trouble spot for Dems in new NBC/WSJ poll — interest in midterms still lagging among young voters, independents, non-white voters. pic.twitter.com/LnSU32abQW

According to the poll, young voters, Latinos, and independents trail other demographics by a significant margin when it comes to overall interest in the upcoming election.
Given that those voting blocks tend to favor Democrats, that could mean trouble for them this fall.
Not a problem. They'll be able to fire up the base in time. They've got 44 whole days to throw around some more rape accusations. https://t.co/N8g13EowLq

This should concern Democrats, particularly the lag among minority and young voters. https://t.co/BUkCXKa9V5

Despite not having a message other than getting rid of President Trump, they are desperately attempting to end that streak this year.
