“I’m sure some of this is wishful thinking in some districts but there does seem to be a general attitude that the Democrats have failed and voters want something better.”
I think that’s true and many Americans are truly afraid of the direction our wonderful country is taking towards Socialism.
Dims and unions are fearful that the Dims won’t turn out - they’re planning a big Rally in DC next Saturnday (Code Pink and Communist Party USA & International ANSWER will also be participating):

Left-wing groups plan giant rally on Mall; will ‘re-commit to change’
The goal of “recommitment to change” suggests that liberal leaders are fully aware they have lost momentum in the 20 months of the Obama administration. AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka says One Nation will “demand a renewed focus and investment in people.” Benjamin Jealous, head of the NAACP, says the march will show that “this nation will rise again toward the mountaintop.” Renewed focus and rise again are not phrases that such organizations use when they are winning.
Attendance at the march will likely be viewed as a test of liberal organizing strength at a time when polls show Democratic base voters are far less enthusiastic about the upcoming election than their Republican counterparts. In particular, it seems likely the press will compare turnout to that of the “Restoring Honor” rally staged by Fox News personality Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial August 28. (The One Nation march was already in the planning stages when the Beck march was held.) One big difference will be that the Beck rally was self-consciously non-political, while the One Nation rally will be frankly partisan. “It’s time to stand up and march for the change we voted for,” say organizers.

I doubt the media/press will report the trash left behind as these liberals meet to further trash America and our capital.
Years ago, at Dan’s Bake Sale in Ft. Collins, CO, their city employees were stunned at how well conservatives cleaned up after themselves.
