Not sure if they're contributors at all, but...

1) Paul Ryan boasting about someone getting $1.50 extra per week because of the tax cuts
2) RNC staff trolling a commemoration of the school shooting victims in Florida by chanting "Crumbs!"

From the link.

A total of 1,016 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Interviews were conducted February 20-23, 2018. Among the entire sample, 33% described themselves as Democrats, 23% described themselves as Republicans

This is called oversampling. Polling isn't about the questions asked, it's about who you ask the questions to. No shit you're going to get a poll skewed towards the Democrats when your sample population is skewed towards the Democrats. This is legitimately fake news.

You realize registered Democrats outnumber registered republicans by a lot, right? And independents greatly outnumber them both?

What do you think the number of people who describe themselves Democrats and Republicans actually is? It's not equal to Clinton % in last election / Trump % in last election.

Plus less than half of registered voters reported seeing a raise in their paychecks, ignoring the fact the tax bill was already heavily unpopular.
The tax bill was never going to be some saving grace for Republicans.

The higher their poll numbers get, the more pathetic it'll be when they lose seats instead.

Democrats fuck up midterms worse than Dawkins fucks up his life.

That never happens. Incumbent party always loses seats when the president is sub 50 approval rating. With the recent metrics on special elections, I don't see this being any different.

It's kind of just a fact of American politics. Majority of voters are so shortsighted, that when the president sucks, they take it out by voting against his party. Doesn't matter the message or platform of the opposition.

And with how badly THIS president sucks...
