'Public will turn against you': Top GOP pollster shares major 'opportunity' for Dems
Raw StoryDuring recent town hall meetings, Republican members of Congress have been faced with angry constituents who are particularly upset about President Donald Trump's mass layoffs of federal workers. In a Monday interview on CNN, Frank Luntz — a Republican messaging expert who regularly conducts focus groups with swing voters — noted that heated town hall appearances can sometimes be a harbinger of whether the opposition will make big gains in the next midterm election. He mentioned the 2010 Tea Party wave election and the 2018 "Blue Wave" during Trump's first term as examples. "I look at this simply as an indication, but I want to confirm one thing for you right now, the focus groups that we do every single week are loud, they're boisterous and they will applaud the president for his agenda and condemn him for the way that he carries it out," Luntz said. The pollster and messaging expert warned Democrats against embracing 2017-era "resistance" messaging, and pointed out that Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote, so swing voters aren't ready to fully abandon him.
