Midterm results shake up national map
By Reid Wilson - 11/14/18 06:00 AM EST

A blue wave that washed over Republican-held suburbs across the country in last week’s midterm elections has reshaped the nation’s political map.

Deep dissatisfaction with President Trump and an apparent realignment, both political and geographic, among suburban voters helped Democrats reclaim control of the House of Representatives, where the party won more Republican-held seats than in any midterm election since Watergate.

At the same time, Republicans are eyeing some districts held by Democrats still undergoing their new member orientation.

A normal midterm result in the House with an abnormal result in the Senate is not a blue wave.

Deep dissatisfaction with President Trump

Based on what? The fact that Trump motivated the most GOP voters in history to come out for a Midterm?

A normal midterm result in the House with an abnormal result in the Senate is not a blue wave.

Statistically, a larger gain in the House would have been expected in these circumstances.  The democrat gain was less than could have been average.
