But what if the narrative of Trump's political martyrdom, railing against his "lynching," and the Fox News characterizations of a deep state culture war actually stop or reverse Democratic gains in this year's off-year elections in the South?

"Winning special elections is satisfying, but really drilling down into these numbers and realizing what they represent in terms of Democratic energy and engagement in February of an off-off-year is really what has us excited," she said.

The ballot proposals, which attracted millions of dollars in spending from supporters and opponents, were among the most hotly debated of several referendums before New York area voters on Tuesday, in what was an otherwise sleepy off-year election.
|
|
But black voters made up 29% of the vote in Alabama in Tuesday's election — a larger-than-expected share more comparable to the composition of the electorate in a presidential race for Obama than an off-year special election.
|
|
From the tax-obsessed suburbs of New York City to high-tech neighborhoods outside Seattle to the sprawling, polyglot developments of Fairfax and Prince William County, Va., voters shunned Republicans up and down the ballot in off-year elections.

McSally, who was appointed to the Senate after losing the race for the state's other seat in 2018, has posted impressive fundraising in the off year, too, outraising all but two Republican senators in the most recent fundraising period.

The years 2005 and 2006 were Bush's anni horribiles, the period that included the worst of the insurgency in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and an off-year electoral "thumping"—Bush's word—that turned both houses of Congress over to the Democrats.
|

Terry McAuliffe, a fellow Democrat who, by law, cannot seek consecutive terms, Mr. Northam is using strikingly caustic language to galvanize Virginia voters who are appalled by the president, but may be reluctant to vote in an off-year governor's race.
|
|
The desperation is understandable, of course: A horrific candidate like Trump threatens not just to cost Republicans the presidency, but to precipitate a down-ballot wipeout that erases the enormous gains the party has made in off-year elections during the Obama era.
|
|
Historically, Republicans have benefited in these off-year Virginia gubernatorial elections from a significant decline in turnout among strongly Democratic African-American and younger voters, producing an older, whiter and more conservative electorate; one reason McAuliffe won is he minimized that fall-off.
|
|
Voter turnout in the 2014 midterm elections — another in what has become a long line of off-year, Democratic electoral disasters — dropped to its lowest level since 1942, when much of the country was preoccupied with driving the Axis powers back to hell.

The emphasis on a low-profile, off-year election for governor in New Jersey, where Mr. Murphy holds a commanding lead in recent polls to replace the Republican Chris Christie, reflects the Democratic Party's changing priorities with it out of power in Washington.
|
|
This doesn't mean good shows can't be produced in an off-year, but it's so hard to make a good TV show in the first place, and so hard to assemble just the right collection of writers, actors, directors, and technical personnel.
|
|
These figures are somewhat better for Mr. Trump than those of most other surveys — perhaps in part because this poll tries to capture likely voters in an off-year election, and those voters are considerably older and whiter than the overall adult population.

House Speaker Paul Ryan raised more than $44 million in 2017, an off-year record for any House leader — a financial haul Republicans hope will shore up vulnerable GOP members in what's shaping up to be a tough midterm cycle for Republicans.

Virginia has been trending blue for years, but the fact that Democrats generated so much enthusiasm in an off-year where state legislature elections were the biggest thing on the ballot means the party is organized and enthusiastic, even for traditionally sleepier races.
|
|
In the run-up to the 2019 elections, some grassroots activists told Vox they were seeing major enthusiasm, even for an off-year election where the biggest races on the ballot were for state lawmakers, instead of a governor's or US Senate race.

NEW YORK, July 26 (Reuters) - Arabica coffee prices will rise 14% by the end of 2019, bolstered by strong global demand and Brazil's entry into an off-year in its biennial production cycle, a Reuters poll of nine traders and analysts showed on Friday.

During an appearance on CNN's "Erin Burnett Outfront," David Gergen, who advised former Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, admitted that off-year elections like this may not be the best predictor of what could happen in the 2018 midterms.

So, the key to the Giants on-year/off-year pattern is not that they're genetic manatees, but until the 2015-2016 offseason, general manager Brian Sabean and ownership has been satisfied to play a conservative hand, and have happily accepted whatever breaks they've gotten.

Political Calculus Jon Ossoff benefited from an unusually strong turnout in the first round of voting in Georgia's Sixth Congressional District last week, surpassing all recent benchmarks for Democratic turnout in an off-year election, according to an Upshot analysis of newly released voting data.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A gray mood has settled over conservative-leaning voters in some of the country's most reliably Republican congressional districts, as the party's stumbles in Washington demoralize them and leave lawmakers scrambling to energize would-be supporters in a series of off-year elections.
|

Everytown officials -- who provided CNN with details of their Virginia strategy -- say their approach to the off-year election demonstrates the potency of the gun-safety message one year before the nation heads to the polls to decide control of Congress and the White House.
|
|
The Parkland students were successful beyond what any other gun control campaign has achieved: not only did Florida pass tougher legislation, but in the 2018 off-year elections, Democratic candidates took up the fight against guns and their party won back the House of Representatives.

"I've been really working hard, 2018 was my off year to get some speed in and I think it has worked pretty well along with the strength and conditioning work and it's really good to know I just ran a life time best here," Jackson told Reuters.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Arabica coffee prices will rise nearly 20193 percent by the end of 2019 as Brazil's shift to an off-year in its biennial production cycle helps swing the world into a global deficit, a Reuters poll of nine traders and analysts showed on Tuesday.

But Virginia's off-year 23 contest also offered them an opportunity: It allowed new tech activists and old Democratic loyalists alike to test tools and tactics a year before millions of voters, all around the country, would head to the polls for the all-important midterms.
|
|
This week, we'll get an early litmus test as voters across the country hit the polls for local and, in a few cases, state elections; female candidates are running for everything from governor to critical state legislative races to city council in the off-year contests.
|
|
But what the off-year races in Virginia show is that raging opposition to Trump is a gateway to all kinds of issues that voters do care about and that Republicans have steadfastly ignored in their campaign to boil everything down to grievance-driven backlash politics.
|
|
Lucic isn't the only one slumping as Tyler Toffoli (team-best 24 goals) has scored once in his last 11 games and Jeff Carter (15 goals) continues to have an off-year after averaging 27 tallies in the last three seasons and is two shy of 33.
|

That strategy of restraint brought Democrats steady gains, as they made inroads into Republican territory in a series of special elections and off-year elections, winning an improbable Senate seat in Alabama late last year, then seizing a solid-red congressional district near Pittsburgh in March.

Pelosi has sent $24.7 million of her $25.9 million fundraising haul to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), according to the Post, which noted that that amount is $10 million more than she sent to the group during the last congressional off-year two years ago.
|
|
But liberal leaders in Wisconsin noted that the renewed energy could carry Democrats into important off-year elections in 2019 — and set the stage for efforts to win both states in the 2020 presidential election, after Trump picked off both longtime Democratic states two years ago.

Pollsters may scratch their heads over the "mystery" of why Alabama's African-American citizens made up 30 percent of the total voters on Tuesday — a seriously impressive number (even surpassing their turnout for Obama in 2012) in any election but especially an off-year special election.
|
|
In December 2018, after midterms in which Democrats picked up three U.S. House seats on Republican-drawn maps, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee sketched out a multimillion-dollar effort to win the "off-off-year" election and stuck to it even through the debacles of February.

If the network can get Atlanta nominated in the Comedy category, The Americans nominated in the Drama category, and a host of other programs in the Limited Series categories, it just might be able to take HBO's crown in an off year for the latter network.

There are three governor's races and control of the Virginia legislature at stake in this off-year election, but it's Kentucky where the most consequential campaign is taking place — and where the political impact of impeachment on the two parties is being put to the most visible test.
|
|
The big picture: The numbers — not just in Alabama, but for the totality of elections in 2017 — have top Republicans rattled: Dems outperforming in every off-year race: "There have been more than 70 special elections for state and federal legislative seats in 2017," according to FiveThirtyEight's Harry Enten.
|
|
As Vox's Tara Golshan previously reported: While Democratic voters are more enthusiastic to vote in the 2018 midterms than in past off-year election cycles — and recent polls show they're more eager to get out to the polls than Republicans — young voter turnout could make the difference in 2018.
|
|
The path to a big Democratic wave in the Midwest in 2018 runs through three voting blocs: Suburban Republican-leaning women who don't like Trump, the white working-class Democrats who voted for the president, and black voters who are less likely to vote in off-year elections.
|
|
Third, it is axiomatic that in a low-turnout election (such as an off-year, September special election), the candidate with the most enthusiastic followers and best existing organization has an edge over a candidate with appeal that, even if it is theoretically broader, is less intense or personal.
|
|
The more frequent change in control of Congress has also meant a greater chance that the House will be controlled by the party other than that of the president, especially since off-year elections often serve the purpose of checking the power of the person in the White House.
|
|
But the takeaway is still serious: While Democratic voters are more enthusiastic to vote in the 234 midterms than in past off-year election cycles — and recent polls show they're more eager to get out to the polls than Republicans — young voter turnout could make the difference in 20143.

They point to Democratic successes in the off-year 2017 elections in Virginia and New Jersey, and the surprise triumph of Senator Doug Jones in Alabama, as evidence for the party's plan to target college-educated white women, upper-middle-class moderates and even disillusioned conservatives in the affluent suburbs.
|
|
The loudest calls for impeachment on Wednesday came from candidates running on the left in Democratic primary elections: In Virginia and New Jersey, two states holding off-year elections for governor this fall, insurgent primary candidates insisted that Congress must begin a process that could end with Mr. Trump's removal.
|
|
"The Democratic Senate candidates that are running are faced with an incredibly toxic socialist agenda, so it's no surprise that outside groups are dropping significant resources in the off year in order to paper over their shortcomings as candidates," said Jesse Hunt, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).

Maybe there's a chance he bounces back, but with his defensive value so limited, and now a year of emphatic decline (as opposed to last season, when there was hope that his leg injuries were the cause of his off year), I'm not sure how many teams will give him that chance.

The result of Virginia's off-off-year election will be determined both by national trends and a host of issues unique to the state, starting with its own embattled incumbent governor, Ralph Northam, a Democrat whose credibility plummeted when he made national news in February for admitting to wearing blackface while in college.
|
|
Trump's congressional majorities at stake Democrats, fired up by strong performances in off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey and by capturing an Alabama US Senate seat, sense a chance to recapture the House and the Senate in an election that will inevitably be a referendum on the turbulent Trump administration.
|
|
In 2013, following a report that the Board of Elections had "wasted at least $2.4 million in city funds by failing to consolidate election districts during the November 2011 off-year elections," New York City's Department of Investigation again took aim at the board and recommended that it incorporate more hands-on training.
|
|
Much more worrisome for those of us who think the country needs a blue wave in 2018 is the way Mr. Trump's strategy appears to be raising his job approval ratings and closing the enthusiasm gap with Democrats that has been a critical element in the handful of off-year elections since 2016.

" ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL Today is Election Day: Via NPR's Jessica Taylor, "These off-year contests may not be as high profile as the 2020 presidential and congressional elections will be a year from now, but they could offer some important hints on how voters are feeling about President Trump, impeachment, guns and more.
|

The President's unpopularity has also led to the groundswell of activism -- seen through the Women's March, pro-gun control efforts, the Black Lives Matter movement and more -- and interest in non-presidential elections among rank-and-file voters after Democrats watched in agony as their voters sat out eight years of off-year elections.
|
|
But a failure to follow through on their oft-repeated promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act and their inability to get much traction on other major legislation has left them grasping for success — a need made even more urgent by the beating the party took around the country in Tuesday's off-year elections.
|
|
Trump is a major draw in Senate races across North Dakota, West Virginia, Montana and in states like Georgia, where "you see a change in the polling toward the Republican because he is able to motivate turnout amongst those presidential year Trump voters that might normally turn out in an off year," Wilson said.

One thing to keep in mind: Mark Warner, top Democrat, Senate Intelligence Committee, his state of Virginia has its elections this month, or next month, it'll be November, that's ... It's a rare thing Virginia does, it's the off-year before the midterm election, so for him, this is an issue that's of pressing, personal, local concern.

And on a day like today, which is an off-year election, folks are choosing everything from mayors to state lawmakers and voting on ballot measures all across the country — and everyone or everything they choose can have a larger, more direct influence on our everyday lives than the decisions slowly made in Congress and the White House.

Rahm Emanuel, who was a senior adviser to Mr. Clinton in 1998 and went on to become Mr. Obama's chief of staff and the mayor of Chicago, argued that last week's Democratic off-year election victories along with the midterm elections of 2018 showed that Republicans who stick with Mr. Trump may ultimately pay a price in 2020.

What I will say is that it's probably a lot easier to pull it off, year after year, with a genre drama — one of the crime or superhero or legal or political shows that make up the great majority of hourlong series — where the artificial conventions already in place provide ready-made catalogs of cliffhangers and new plots.

A surge in demand for programs around the country like the one at Rutgers, along with a significant spike in off-year small dollar fund-raising for local races, suggests that the protest movement is producing a flood of first-timers, led predominantly by new female candidates, on local ballots, from school boards to town councils to state legislatures.

The fact that the electorate is smaller and whiter in off-year elections means that the Republican Party has a strong grip on the House of Representatives, and the fact that even a wooden candidate like Mitt Romney came within a few points of winning the 2012 election means that it can justify doubling down on the same old strategy.

Regardless of his eventual choice, Mr. Kasich has succeeded, at least, in installing himself permanently in the grand drama of the Trump era, drawing a pack of reporters to New Hampshire in an off-year on the pretext of a question-and-answer session at a college and ensuring that the news media will continue to track his doings once his term expires in January.

Contributing Opinion Writer All I can say is that if you are like me, and you remember those years when national Democratic Party leaders treated Texas like it had a near fatal case of cooties — from Michael Dukakis and Bill Clinton to Hillary Clinton's attempts in 2008 and 2016 and all those off-year elections in between — tonight's debate gave me a serious case of whiplash.

"The authorities are saying that there could be 1 percentage point shaved off year-over-year growth, so we get down to the 5% region — that is already a huge admission from the Chinese authorities, particularly in the year when they've got this long-term poverty reduction goal during which they need to meet that 6% growth rate, and (Chinese President) Xi Jinping is still talking about that," Beamish said.

The refusal to spend heavily in Montana, which follows a similar decision in a special election for a House seat in Kansas, has left some progressives howling that even as an energized base breaks off-year fundraising records, the party's infrastructure isn't trying to win back the red territory where Bernie Sanders won Democratic nominating contests and then Trump trounced Hillary Clinton in the general election last year.

Stephen Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington, says the off-year tilt toward Republicans likely won't be as severe as usual again this year for three reasons: Democratic hostility to Trump; an increased number of competitive Democratic State House candidates inspired largely by that hostility who will work to turnout their party's vote; and the presence on the ticket of an African-American Lt. Governor nominee, Justin Fairfax.
