Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Will the midterms mark the end of the Trump era? Michael examines political strategist Doug Sosnik's provocative analysis of the coming election. Could the 2026 midterm elections signal the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's political dominance? With Trump's approval rating at 33%, history suggests Democrats could be headed for a massive victory. But Sosnik argues that gerrymandering, the education divide, and fundamental shifts in the electorate make a traditional blue wave far less certain. Even without a Democratic landslide, could the midterms usher in a new, post-Trump political era? Michael breaks down the historical comparisons, the changing electoral landscape, and what's really at stake. Vote now at Smerconish.com, and be sure to rate, review and share this podcast!
