CNN Polls Show Democrats Ahead in Michigan and Texas Senate Races

The surveys show Democrats ahead in Michigan and Texas outside the margin of error, with narrow leads in Maine and Kansas.

  • New CNN polling across four key Senate races finds Democrats well-positioned in Michigan and Texas, while Maine and Kansas remain tight. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to control the Senate after next Tuesday's elections.
  • In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holds a 49% to 42% lead over Republican Mike Rogers as the state's Democratic base unified following August's primary. Rogers' unfavorable rating climbed to 50% from 42% in early September, consolidating support for El-Sayed.
  • Texas Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton 49% to 43%, while Democrat Adam Hamilton leads Republican Sen. Roger Marshall 49% to 45% in Kansas. Both Democrats are overperforming in these typically Republican-leaning states.
  • Maine's race remains too close to call, with Democrat Troy Jackson at 49% and Republican Sen. Susan Collins at 45%. Collins faces a 54% unfavorable rating, though Jackson's backers report higher motivation to vote.
  • Despite Democratic momentum, undecided voters could still shift results; 1 in 8 likely voters in most states could change their minds. In Texas and Kansas, at least 6 in 10 undecided voters lean Republican, offering the GOP room to gain.
