Democrats predict a blue wave in the midterms, but polling errors and GOP funding could affect the Senate.

Democrats are predicting a substantial victory in the midterms, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressing confidence that the party has 'the wind in our sails' heading into the elections. Some Democratic forecasters are even predicting a 'blue tsunami' that would see the party gain control of both the House and Senate.

However, several factors could undermine these predictions. Fox News reports that polling errors and the level of Republican funding could alter the Senate map and prevent Democrats from achieving the gains they anticipate.
