In an interesting survey of over 16,000 millennial respondents (graphic above) via Reuters-IPSOS the narrative of a midterm 'blue wave" evaporates.

According to the large-sample polling, support for Democrats (alt left) has dropped from 55% in 2016 to 46% now. That's a significant decline over 9% from prior surveys, and could be a strong indication the current favored narrative amid DNC fake media is entirely false.

Enthusiasm for the Democratic Party is waning among millennials as its candidates head into the crucial midterm congressional elections, according to the Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll.

The online survey of more than 16,000 registered voters ages 18 to 34 shows their support for Democrats over Republicans for Congress slipped by about 9 percentage points over the past two years, to 46 percent overall. And they increasingly say the Republican Party is a better steward of the economy.

That presents a potential problem for Democrats who have come to count on millennials as a core constituency - and will need all the loyalty they can get to achieve a net gain of 23 seats to capture control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November.
Young voters represent an opportunity and a risk for both parties, said Donald Green, a political science professor at Columbia University in New York City.

"They're not as wedded to one party," Green said. "They're easier to convince than, say, your 50- or 60-year-olds who don't really change their minds very often."
Terry Hood, 34, an African-American who works at a Dollar General store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and took this year's poll, said he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

But he will consider a Republican for Congress because he believes the party is making it easier to find jobs and he applauds the recent Republican-led tax cut.
"It sounds strange to me to say this about the Republicans, but they're helping with even the small things," Hood said in a phone interview. "They're taking less taxes out of my paycheck. I notice that."

This is especially bad news for the DNC considering the new era of "Generation Z" is right on the heels of the millennials and Gen-Z is exponentially more in alignment with the MAGA movement as a counter-culture. More winning...
