The 2014 midterm elections saw many Democrats trying to run from President Obama's record, not on it. (One Kentucky Democrat, Alison Lundergan Grimes, famously refused to admit if she had even voted for Obama.) Speaking to NPR this week, the President said that was a mistake:
I'm obviously frustrated with the results of the midterm election. I think we had a great record for members of Congress to run on, and I don't think we — myself and the Democratic Party — made as good of a case as we should have. And, as a consequence, we had really low voter turnout and the results were bad. [Daily Caller]
At the time of the election, Obama's approval rating was at 40 percent, the lowest weekly average of his presidency. Watch his comments to NPR below. --Bonnie Kristian
