First, it is simply easier to run against the people in power.

It's a lot harder to turn people out when they're voting basically to protect the status quo.

And that's what Republicans are doing.

Second, Democrats have got the rare opportunity to campaign on the economy.

Over the last decade, Republicans have maintained a significant and steady lead on that topic.

Polling year after year shows that voters typically trust the GOP more with the economy.

But that is not the case this year, as inflation has remained stubbornly high and the price of gas has gone up.

The latest Fox polling shows Democrats with a nine-point lead on the economy.

That's the largest in two decades for the left.

They are also scoring points with the war in Iran, which has become deeply unpopular with voters.

So with each day the conflict drags on, Democrats benefit.

Those are the big issues that you're probably going to hear a lot from them.

So first, the rise of socialism on the left does appear to be benefiting Republicans' odds of winning over independents.

There's no doubt that that far-left rhetoric is firing up their base, and you can see in the polling where socialism has a 52% approval rating among all Democrats.

However, if you look at polling among independents, socialism is now 60 points underwater with a 17% approval rating.

So expect to see Republicans hammer that issue nationwide.

The GOP is struggling on the economy, but they do still have the polling advantage on immigration and crime and fraud.

And also Trump's no tax on tips or overtime is quite popular with voters.

So that's an issue they're going to lean on as well.

And last but not least, there's the finance side.
