Vice President JD Vance summed up the Democrats’ shellacking of Republicans in yesterday’s midterm election in six words: “The reason we lost is the war.”
Which is exactly what exit polls showed as well.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sold President Trump a bill of goods to get him to attack Iran, while neoconservative warmongers claimed the war would play no role in the election, and now the Democrats have complete control of Congress.
Riffing off Democrat fixer James Carville’s maxim, “it’s the economy, stupid,” about the 1992 presidential contest in which Bill Clinton defeated President George H.W. Bush, Stand Together’s Reid Tillman Smith put it this way: “It’s the war stupid.”
Responsible Statecraft explained. “Exit polling showed 74% of voters said the Iran War was a ‘crucial’ or ‘major’ factor in their vote,” the website’s Blaise Malley wrote:
Exit polling also found that 62% of voters believed using military force against Iran was the “wrong decision.”
This all jibed with polls leading up to the midterms. Gallup reported last week that 77% of registered voters considered the situation in Iran “extremely” or “very important” to their vote, placing it among the top issues surveyed, alongside the economy and healthcare. A late-October NetChoice/Echelon Insights poll of six swing states found that “ending the war with Iran” was voters’ third most commonly-cited priority, behind only the cost of living and jobs.
