Midterms: Voters are Angry

This article is mainly about the out look on the midterm elections from a more national view. This article tells us about the enthusiasm of some voters, and it even tells us how there are voters who are very angry with the way things have been looking for these elections. With all the things that have been going on in our nation, like the Ebola crisis, and then the whole ISIS situation it's said that incumbents may be in trouble when it comes time to vote, even democrats in general. This race is crucial and with the democrats wanting to stay in office and keep their seats the ten point percentage on the enthusiasm rate has to go up. There is 26% of democrats who are somewhat enthusiastic about voting and then there come the republicans which have a 36% of enthusiasm to vote coming these elections. 

One of the key issues in this race is Deffeintly whether or not the democrats actually stay in office. It's said that the 10% difference in the enthusiasm rate can be somewhat drastic and cad effect the democrats. Democrats currently control the Senate by a 55-45 margin with two of those seats held by independents that align themselves politically with Democrats. And with the word going around that it's dangerous for the incumbents this time around in elections is making democrats think and trying to get down to the root of the problem to try and gain votes considering that in the south there are three democratic incumbents battling for re-election in Arkansas, Louisiana, and North Carolina it may not be looking too good for them. Republicans are also trying to hold an open seat in Georgiaas well as protect Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, considering the president has a 52% disapproval rating. According to how things are looking in the polls it's falling in favor of the Republican Party and they have a pretty good advantage with all these things like incumbents running, the democratic enthusiasm voting rate being down 10% and there being a 52% disapproval rating on the president who is also Democratic. Lastly, this race is significant because our Senate can most likely be changing once again to the opposing party it is now, which is from Democratic to Republican.
