Bill Kramer, vice president and counsel at MultiState, explains that 'grassroots anger' about multiple topics is fueling Democratic gains. He notes the anger is not particularly partisan, but Republicans—as the incumbent party controlling more states—bear the brunt of voter discontent. Democrats enter the election season with a Republican president whose approval ratings are low and hold polling advantages on consumer prices and healthcare access.

“But if you're the incumbent party, that's who [gets blamed], and right now Republicans control a lot more of the states than the Democrats do.”
