Is there someone who can translate this gibberish?
From the article which was inside the Tweet (the article was from the "National Journal"):
"Those were the sobering findings of a Democratic survey commissioned by the party-backed House Majority PAC, which Politico and McClatchy first reported. The poll surveyed working-class white voters in pivotal districts that Democrats are targeting in the midterms. Despite the Trump turmoil in Washington, Republicans held a 10-point lead on the generic ballot (43-33 percent) among these blue-collar voters. Democrats hold a whopping 61 percent disapproval rating among these voters, with only 32 percent approving. Even Trump’s job-approval rating is a respectable 52 percent with the demographic in these swing districts. Democrats maintain that with robust economic messaging, they can move those numbers in their favor. But the results show how difficult that task will be. By a stunning 35-point margin, blue-collar white voters believe that Republicans will be better at improving the economy and creating jobs than Democrats. Under Trump, the economy has been growing—even in the disadvantaged parts of the country. Between promising job creation and Trump’s own paeans to blue-collar work, it’s hard to see the GOP numbers changing significantly. The more uncomfortable reality is that these blue-collar voters’ resistance to the Democrats is on cultural grounds, not economic ones—a finding that studies of Obama-Trump voters have repeatedly shown. Democrats are facing a double-whammy: They’re still experiencing resistance among moderate voters in suburban swing districts over tax-and-spend economic policies. Meanwhile, small-town voters are having a tough time voting for their candidates because of a growing cultural disconnect. In the short term, the House will give Democrats their best opportunity to prove they can make inroads despite the political hurdles. To win back control in the lower chamber, they will need to win Republican-held seats both in the suburbs and in small-town America. It’s not an either-or proposition. But if they fall short despite such a promising political environment, the longer-term ramifications for the party’s ability to regain congressional power are discouraging."
I've been saying the same thing for about a year. The Dems have put together an un-winnable coalition. The middle class and working class people of America are pretty skeeved out by the more vocal democrats (& democratic supporters) that they see on TV and also they have no confidence that the Dems will do anything regarding jobs, lowering taxes or the debt.
(Probably why Schumer & Pelosi and their little caravan were in semi rural VA the other day in their khaki's and rolled up sleeves trying to roll out their "better deal" program or whatever they called it.)
The article indicates that it's a double whammy of losing both the working class people (everywhere) and white middle class suburban voters (everywhere but the very blue states) that's the killer & that they've basically abandoned. (& have been condescendingly thumbing their noses at).
Ah yes, nice job of making a mountain out of a molehill. From the link:

Stunning # from the D poll: In swing blue-collar districts, Rs w 35 (!) pt edge over Ds on economy w non-col whites
First of all, last time I looked whites weren't the only voters. Next, notice it is non-college whites. Almost 44% of whites DO have a college degree. So to make the claim, not only are you ignoring non-whites (who are people too - REALLY! ), you're ignoring almost half of the whites! Last but not least, it says "In swing blue-collar districts." So basically they narrowed down to whatever demographic sub-set they knew would make them look popular ... in a effort (pretty desperate I might add) to make themselves look popular.
I could similarly find a poll that says, "Dems leading by a stunning 80% in Asians with PhD's and who eat out at least three days a week and live in cities with greater than 200,000 population," but it wouldn't be terribly meaningful, would it.

The Dims are going to be wiped out in 2018 because they haven't learned anything from increasingly losing power in 2010, 2012, 2014, & 2016 successively.
The Nazi Dim Left thinks voters want to be able to choose which bathroom to use rather than whether they have a job or not.
