Galen Drew:民主党在两次特别选举中意外胜出,其中一次选区以往更倾向于共和党,这表明民主党在中期选举中可能表现出色。但需要注意的是,特别选举的投票率通常较低,选民构成也与中期选举有所不同,因此结果可能存在偏差。 Sarah Frostenson:虽然民主党在特别选举中表现优异,但这并不意味着他们将赢得压倒性胜利。中期选举的投票率预计会很高,届时通货膨胀和犯罪等问题可能会对选民产生更大的影响。此外,民调结果显示,目前政治环境对两党来说较为中立。 Nathaniel Rakich:自多布斯案裁决以来,民主党在特别选举中的平均超额表现为6个百分点,这表明当前的政治环境有利于民主党。然而,民调结果显示,目前政治环境较为中立。历史数据显示,民调结果通常会在选举临近时发生变化,因此,目前的结果并不能完全代表最终的选举结果。
