Voters and candidates are getting ready for this year's midterm elections in a couple of weeks with the exception of early and mail balloting in a few key states.

This time of the year, the president's party mostly loses in congressional and senate states for a number of reasons. Some voters will say they're fed up with the president's agenda, and some House or Senate seats may be at risk. Still, people will see the results on Nov. 5, and if there's a call for runoffs in Louisiana or Georgia, then they'll have to wait for December or January.

The midterm elections are important because it may produce more outcomes for the current president. There may be more trade agreement support from the Republican Party, and more funds for government operations will be allocated. Crises, like Ebola, will see more help as both parties work together to respond to its needs.

Then again, the midterm elections will mean nothing to the presidency because there will still be obstacles facing the Affordable Care Act and no full comprehension for immigration reform. Brookings Institute predicts that The Republican House Party conference will move even more to the right and will be under pressure to deliver its intensified conservative base. President Obama will still see some of his legislative efforts defeated or ignored just as they were in 2011.

Results of this election may not shed light on either party's long term prospects, and some say both parties still need to find better ways to work together.

According to The New York Times, midterm elections often end up serving as a referendum on the president's performance. Yet, there's not a lot of talk from the Democratic Party about the economy. Since the last election, the unemployment rate has dropped by two percentage points.

As the nation begins its debate on who will win, many are standing by for a big change.
