Sabato: Trump Has Got To Get His Job Approval up To Help Keep the Size of the Blue Wave Down

RUSH EXCERPT:
SABATO: "It’s way too soon to say. Is this a year that is likely to favor Democrats? The answer is yes because it’s a mid-term election year in a Republican administration and Republican Congress. Having said that, look, it is January 2. This is the day for flights of fancy by both parties. If you listen to the Democrats, there will be the biggest blue wave since the one that sunk the U.S.S. Poseidon. The Republicans will tell you they maybe will lose two or three seats but they can see taking this democratic seat and this one in the house and Senate. It is all justified January 2. We have to see what happens. I thought senator Thune was right when he said one of the keys to this election year is whether Republicans are able to credibly link themselves to the improving economy using the tax bill. Also they need for president Trump to improve his ratings. He has got to get his job approval up. It will help them and keep the size of the wave down."
