Could you post some of the main point and maybe your view of the info? Nobody can look at Wapo or NYT unless they have a subscription. I can't justify paying for low quality journalism.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
Benenson has teamed up with Neil Newhouse, a co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies, a GOP polling firm, on a research project warning that Democrats are heading into next year’s midterm elections amid echoes of Obama’s first two years in office that resulted in a resounding defeat in the 2010 midterms that cost the party its House majority.
At the heart of the Benenson-Newhouse research is something Democrats worried about a dozen years ago, when those messy negotiations took up so much bandwidth yet were also out of sync with what many swing voters prioritized. In late 2009 and early 2010, with unemployment hovering around 10 percent, key swing voters cared most about jobs and not expanding access to health insurance. Today’s voters appear to be most concerned about the ongoing global pandemic and are not deeply invested in the haggling over proposals such as expanding Medicare coverage to include dental, hearing and vision benefits.
“The conversation in Washington doesn’t match the conversation that’s happening around the country,” Newhouse said during a 45-minute telephone interview with Benenson.

It might be just wishful thinking but I expect the Democrats to lose many seats in 2022. Ten Democrat house members are retiring this year for a variety of reasons including the belief they won't win or their district was redrawn.
Ironically my Republican friends think Democrats will cheat counting votes and Democrats will hold onto their narrow majorities. If enough GOP voters agree with President Trump that the system is corrupt and there is no reason to bother voting.
Interesting twist: if Trump persists with this, Democrats will still have the majorities to prosecute him. If Republicans win, less likely to see another impeachment.

It might be but I think the absence of cogent left wing talking points, the the shrillness and vapidity of what we do get and evan the fact that the courtroom is now buried in the ring shows that they know the emperor wears no clothes. Looking forward to 2022.
