Of course they're sweating, the president's party almost always loses seats in the first midterm (I heard only 2 exceptions in the last 70 years, no idea if that's true), combined with the most offensive POTUS ever, combined with a media campaign against him, the likes of which we have never seen before. They'd be crazy if they weren't sweating.

If the oversight was fair and accurate, I'd agree. Neither side is capable of that anymore. I have no idea what to believe, or what's true, or who is lying.
It's going to be fascinating to see how the midterms play out. Many competing trends at odds with each other (president's party usually takes a beating, but it's often about the economy, which is doing well).
I think the GOP gains senate seats, I can't see how the Dems don't gain house seats. Really curious to see what happens here in the People's Republic Of Connecticut, which has slowly turning to the right as people are finally getting tired of massive tax hikes and massive deficits every single year...
