According to Agence France-Presse on July 25, the US is still 100 days away from midterm elections this Sunday to determine control of Congress and the status of President Trump's remaining two-year term. On November 3, the US will re-elect all seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate. Currently, the Republican Party is only narrowly leading the Senate and House of Representatives. Sarah Binder, a political science professor at George Washington University in the US, pointed out that according to past experience, the political party that controls the White House “almost always loses seats in midterm elections, especially when the president is unpopular.” Earlier, the average poll published by the “New York Times” showed that Trump's actual approval rating was only 39%, and the disapproval rating was 59%. Recent polling trends are also almost consistent: the Democratic Party is expected to take back the House of Representatives. However, the rezoning of constituencies promoted by Trump in several Republican states has slightly curtailed the Democratic Party's chances. This old American political strategy, known as “Jerry's Salamander,” has reduced the number of constituencies where the Democratic Party is truly competitive.
