As a general rule, midterm elections - in both their first terms and their second terms - aren't kind to incumbent presidents, even popular ones. Just two years after winning a 49-state landslide, for instance, Ronald Reagan watched his party lose control of the Senate and slip further into the minority in the House in 1986.

The Democrats do fine in presidential elections; their problem is they can't get out the vote in the midterm elections.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Conservative presence in the media has not been reflected in elections. Well, maybe the midterm elections of 2010, 2014.

Rush Limbaugh

In the midterm elections, a 102-year-old woman voted for the first time in a U.S. election. Unfortunately, she voted for Woodrow Wilson.

Nate Silver

You have to be involved during midterm elections, you have to care about what happens at a school board level.

Barack Obama

Midterms are always hard. And the midterm in a two-term president's second term is especially hard.

Hillary Clinton

Midterm elections, by nature, just aren't about the party that's out of power. But presidential years are different.

The organization of American society is an interlocking system of semi-monopolies notoriously venal, an electorate notoriously unenlightened, misled by mass media notoriously phony.

Paul Goodman

India's notoriously difficult. It's visa routine is notoriously difficult to get a residency permit and all that stuff, so that threw up all kinds of complicated barriers for us. I remember once having to go meet with the foreign ministry official and say 'You know look I have a real problem here. Is this person really important to you?' And I just thought 'My God.' You know my wife and I have been together since college. You know it's 20 years.

Lydia Polgreen

Like a lot of people, I'm interested in public service and want to do as much as I can to change the direction of this country and will give some consideration to that after midterm elections.

John Thune

Tomorrow is Election Day. It's what they call the midterm elections, and you can cut the indifference with a knife. It's the day Americans leave work early and pretend to vote.

David Letterman

I am voting in the midterm elections because I believe that when people engage with their local government, it reminds those placed in power that they are public servants who will be held accountable for their decisions.

Julien Baker

We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.

Ron Paul

Presidents generally do what they are good at in their first four years, then spend their second term responding to the agendas imposed upon them by events.

Dick Morris

Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
