Ouch.
See, Republicans like to think anti-establishment anger runs exclusively in their favor. But people are angry at everyone, including the GOP. In fact, I daresay there are as many or more people angry at them than their opponents.
Does this mean the Democrats aren't going to lose a lot of seats in mid-terms? Of course not. The current imbalance is untenable in the long-term, and mid-terms are always bad for the party in power.
But I don't think there's going to be a huge shift towards the right. There probably won't be a huge majority for either side. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats keep a slim majority.
