A midterm election cycle that looks more like a tsunami in Democrats' favor after nearly two weeks of vote-counting should prompt Republicans to assess their policies and political prospects. While data confirm President Donald Trump is a problem, he may not be the Republicans' biggest problem.
In a post-midterm poll, the Pew Research Center finds "nearly two-thirds of those who say they voted in the midterm elections (64%) say Trump was a consideration in their vote, while 35% say the president was not much of a factor. Overall, 39% say their vote was a vote against Trump, while fewer (25%) say their choice was a vote for Trump.
