Democrats are essentially telling pollsters they will walk across hot coals to get to the polls. Fox News’s most recent poll finds that more Democrats than Republicans are “extremely” motivated to vote. In my own polling, 82 percent of Democrats say it is “extremely important” to win the midterms and stop Mr. Trump from carrying out his agenda — while only 57 percent of Republicans say that it is similarly important for their party to win. That number falls to 47 percent among party-first Republicans. What’s driving this discontent? The economy is one clear factor: Only 29 percent of party-firsters strongly approve of Mr. Trump’s handling of the issue, and less than half describe the economy as “improving.” They are also less upbeat about their own party on issues such as health care, foreign affairs and the overall state of democracy. They aren’t widely convinced things are becoming more stable in the country. Only around one-third strongly support the U.S. military operations in Iran.

When the American attack on Iran was launched in late February, the name chosen for the operation, Epic Fury, seemed an unusually apt description of the temperament of the man ordering it. As for where that military misadventure leaves both the United States and the future security of the world, a more fitting name might be Operation Colossal Blunder.
