Analysis: The data shows that the Democrats’ enthusiasm, which seemed overwhelmingly high for months, has now been joined by conservative enthusiasm. This development is why Republicans will break the historic trend of first-midterm wipeouts. In the end, Tuesday night will not represent a blue wave. I do think the Democrats are in a position to pick up some key governor’s races. I also think Democrats will pick up a lot of congressional seats in districts that Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE won in 2016. They will deserve great credit for these victories. But they will lose ground in the Senate at a time when an additional Supreme Court vacancy in the next two years seems highly likely.

Analysis: This election can be summed up in eight words: Economy dominates, Republicans win; Trump dominates, Democrats win. It’s that simple. The electoral map is situated to where whole states may go for Trump, yet in certain pockets of the state, say for example, Pennsylvania, the congressional districts are deep blue. That’s what the president and his party are facing on Tuesday. 

Meanwhile, the economy is simply booming. If voters not only feel that, but are willing to go share their jubilation at the ballot box, then the day could bode well for Republicans. But I’m doubtful they have convinced voters of this reality, and that could haunt them come Tuesday.

Analysis: History is on the Democrats’ side. Even after winning huge landslide victories, President Reagan and LBJ [President Lyndon Johnson] suffered midterm losses. President Obama was the first Democrat since FDR [President Franklin Roosevelt] to win a majority of the popular vote twice, but both those victories were followed up by dramatic midterm setbacks. So a GOP win in 2018 would be every bit as historic as Trump’s shocking victory two years ago. The weight of history may be too much for Trump Republicans to overcome.

Analysis: All predictions are highly speculative. If Democrats win the House, it will have earthshaking impact and be a political death knell for the far right. Senate elections in Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Montana and Florida are so close — could be a mega-shocker in either direction.

Analysis: When Democrats tried to steal the Supreme Court, they lost the Senate. Recrudescence of gun control didn’t help. Ditto Obama and Hillary Clinton. Democrats will finally lose their identity as [the] working-class party. Trump’s vote-winning issues will be understood as Reagan Republicanism Part Deux: tax cuts, deregulation, constitutional judges.

Analysis: President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE is at a historic low 39 percent approval rating today. Democrats enjoy a 13-point lead in generic congressional ballot polling. Though we can never trust any of these polls to play out on Election Day after the 2016 election, there are certainly trends that have been happening in the last two years that cannot be ignored. Republicans are drastically losing independents and college educated, white suburban women. If Democrats do not at least take back the House and come close in the Senate, that will speak volumes, not so much about Donald Trump, but about the country itself.

Analysis: With the House flipping, Republicans underperforming in 2020 battleground gubernatorial races and a new GOP weakness in the Rustbelt/Midwest emerging, election night 2018 will be a huge blow to an already deeply unpopular president. Questions about the sustainability of Trumpism will dominate the post-election analysis, encouraging responsible GOP party leaders to challenge him more directly in the days ahead. The building of the post-Clinton/Obama Democratic Party will get an enormous boost as Democrats will elect an unusually talented set of new leaders across the country. Watch the House freshman class – it will be among most capable and exciting of modern era.

Analysis: After 2016, I’m not putting much faith in the Washington pollster establishment, but I am putting a lot of confidence in the American people and their belief in our democracy. Throughout this election, we have seen bold and brave citizens put their names on the ballot and run some fantastic races for the heart and soul of America. These candidates aren’t running on some elusive threat of a “caravan” invading our southern border. These candidates are running on real kitchen-table issues, like preserving health care access for all Americans, improving public education for our students and their families and ensuring that every working family get a fair shot at the American dream.
