Now, an economically liberal is largely populist.
And when I say social conservatives, I don't mean that they're crazy right-wing social conservatives.
But what I do mean is they are right of center on social issues, and they definitely do not subscribe to the woke policies of the left.
Anyway, so it's the top left.
This is the sweet spot in American politics.
That's exactly right.
And what's happened has been a significant change since 2000.
The percent of people in America now that are most dependent on government support, whether it's Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, are now overwhelmingly Republican.
And so the Republican base now is more dependent on government aid than the Democratic base.
Well, it's not a good year for the out party.
So I'll just say as a Democrat, two things to address your initial point.
The first is by historical standards on the slides you just showed, and there are a whole lot of other slides you haven't shown, which reinforce it, that Democrats should be poised for a historic blue wave election.
Trump's job approval is
eight points lower than Clinton's was in 94 when the Republicans won over 50 House seats, took back the House for the first time since the 1950s.
It's the same about when Obama and the Democrats got wiped out in 2010.
We lost over 60 House seats.
So the two operating cross-currents here, one is by historical standards, Democrats should have a historic election.
However, due to the structural changes in American politics,
where are we, I'm speaking as a Democrat, we're not going to have the kinds of gains that we would have in the past.
And I do think we're favored to win the House, although albeit more narrowly than history would suggest based on the data.
