...as opposed to the chicken little approach that so many are fond of.

Brace yourself for more:

Jim Messina @Messina2012
Dems flipped 25 state leg. seats last year and the GOP flipped none. Dems now at 26 flips after TX & GOP still zero.

Yes, voters are turning on Trump's chaos, but bigger lesson is Dems win when we give people something to vote for (lower costs, good jobs) and compete EVERYWHERE.

Health care, costs, & the economy are voters' top issues.

BAD #s for Trump & GOP⬇️

▪️Trump: 37% job approval (lowest of 2nd term); net approval on economy: -20!
▪️Democrats viewed as better on health care (+21), affordability (+14), & taxes (+1)--first lead on taxes since '06!
