Summary
Inflation isn't deflating, crime is front of mind and the generic congressional ballot is getting redder and redder. After all the Dobbs talk in the summer, is this a Red Wave after all? We break down what the new data does and doesn't mean.
Sure, we talked PA, GA, NV and AZ to death! What about the sleeper races? The ones that could be shocks of the midterms? We hone in on FL, NC, CO and WA to break down what would need to happen for those to be competitive.
Michael Cohen helps us figure out why the landscape looks desolate for Democrats and yet the Senate polling remains in their favor.

| 1:49.8 | that includes a high crime rate for which people seem to care about. |
| 1:55.0 | Has resulted in fairly middling results, at least polling wise, for the Republicans. |
