Democrats have a clear midterm edge, but are the polls to be believed?

Democrats are being urged not to count their chickens after the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, which shows President Trump's approval rating has plummeted to a new low of 33%.

While many Americans are turning off politics, Israelis are flying across the world to cast their ballots in what’s considered by some as an election for the nation’s very identity. Jonathan Barsade is the founder and president of the America-Israel Democracy Coalition which has been organising charter flights and supporting people wanting to fly in for the ballot.
