History Tells A Different Midterm Story

This week on Finnerty, I joined Rob to break down why midterm elections are not simply a referendum on the president — and why history doesn’t tell the full story heading into 2026. We discussed: • Gallup hanging up Presidential Approval polling after 88 years • Why 90% of voters are already locked in — and how a tiny persuadable middle actually decides midterms • Why Congress gets “punished” almost every two years, regardless of who’s in the White House • The rare moments when presidents defied history — FDR (1934), Clinton (1998), Bush (2002) • How tone, temperament, and contrast matter just as much as kitchen-table affordability • And why persuadable voters aren’t voting for perfection — they’re voting for relief Bottom line: midterms aren’t about approval ratings alone. They’re about mood, balance, and whether voters believe the alternative is worse. 📊 Based on this week’s Zoose Political Index newsletter.
