The Democratic strategy for minimizing losses remains twofold. First, make the midterm elections a choice between the two parties rather than a referendum on Obama, and second, demonize Republican challengers, thereby making them unacceptable to voters.
The “choice” strategy is appropriate but not likely to succeed. Republicans tried the same strategy in 2006, and it didn’t work. It rarely does if voters are in a foul mood
-
The “demonize the Republican nominee” strategy has greater potential, but it requires a costly race-by-race effort that depends on a number of factors, including district demographics and partisanship, the quality of the Democratic candidate, and the baggage carried by both nominees.
-
Republican enthusiasm is high and almost certainly will remain so until November. Independent voters continue to resemble Republicans more than Democrats attitudinally, and that isn’t likely to change before Election Day, because independents are particularly sensitive to mood.
-
But it is the possibility of significantly depressed Democratic turnout that creates the potential of a massive Republican year, with House gains comfortably above 50 seats and Senate gains approaching 10 seats.
In other words, unlike a year ago, suggestions that November could be “another 1994” are now entirely reasonable.
-
now suggest Republican House gains in excess of 40 seats.
But my overall assessment of each cycle is always based, in part, on individual contests and district-level polling, not just national numbers.
-
Polling in individual House districts confirms Democratic risk but doesn’t yet guarantee the massive losses that national polls presage.
-
The refusal of Democratic candidates to release their polling is a sure sign of serious trouble.
-
GOP polling shows some districts where the generic ballot has flipped 20 points over the past two years, a shift so substantial that it raises questions about the ability of Democratic candidates to gain ground in the next two months.
-
But a Public Opinion Strategies poll conducted for challenger Adam Kinzinger (R) early last month showed Republicans with a 16-point advantage on the generic ballot, a huge swing in a district that Obama won by 8 points.
-
Two polls conducted for a business trade group in the summer and fall of 2008 showed Democrats with a 10-point and an 18-point advantage on the generic ballot in Connecticut’s 4th district, which was won by then-challenger Jim Himes (D). But a recent Ayres, McHenry & Associates Inc. poll done for the conservative American Action Forum, conducted in late July, showed Republicans now with a 6-point edge in the generic ballot.
-
This year, three Republicans combined to draw more than 58 percent of all votes cast.
-
If district polls increasingly echo national surveys, we will have a better idea exactly how much damage Democrats will incur and where that damage will be. It looks big now.

- We conduct one-day workshops in which we facilitate leadership team consensus on brand positioning. In those workshops, the participants agree to target customer definitions and priorities and the brand’s essence, promise and personality. We strongly recommend conducting brand positioning research prior to the workshop. Why? It is important to…
- Understand what your brand’s strengths and weaknesses are from your customers’ perspectives
- Know how your customers perceive your brand vis-à-vis competitive brands
- Understand which benefits are the most important to your customers and which of those benefits your brand could uniquely “own” in your customers’ minds
- Know which benefits are believable for your brand
- Understand how different customer groups perceive your brand’s product/service categories (and the brands within them) differently
- Brand X is the quality leader in its category
- Brand Y is the service leader in its category
- Brand Z is the innovation leader in its category
Most product categories are mature with (a) numerous competitors and (b) most of the viable brand positions taken. It is not a trivial exercise to position brands within those categories. It requires significant and nuanced customer insight informed by well thought through research. The days of choosing brand positions such as the following are long since past:
Further, many categories have become commoditized making brand positioning even more difficult.
Relevant brand research might include any or all of the following:
-
- Focus groups to understand customer purchase motivations and the strength of specific functional, emotional, experiential and self expressive benefits
- Qualitative research to identify the most advantageous paths between product/service features, brand benefits, customer values and customer self esteem
- Quantitative brand equity research to measure the strength of various brand insistence factors for your brand and those of its competitors
- Brand positioning research to map your brand against competitive brands for a variety of benefits for different customer market segments
- Conjoint analysis to identify which benefits are the primary drivers of customer purchase decisions and the specific value that customers assign to each
Organizations that position their brands without extensive customer research do so at their own risk. Don’t assume that you know everything about your customers or that your intuition is “spot on.” Rigorous customer research is very likely to uncover significant competitive opportunities and threats (including
