CNN Polls Show Democrats Ahead in Michigan and Texas Senate Races

CNN says Democrats lead in two key Senate races as 6.8 million Texas voters already cast ballots early.

  • On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Americans vote in midterm elections where Democrats aim to flip the Senate, driven by new CNN/SSRS polls showing party leads in Michigan, Texas, Maine, and Kansas.
  • Democrats require a net gain of four seats to wrest control of the Senate, where Republicans currently hold a 53-47 seat advantage. This shift would determine legislative power for the next two years.
  • CNN polling found Democrats leading 49%–42% in Michigan and 49%–43% in Texas, leads exceeding the polls' margins of error, while Maine and Kansas remain competitive at 49%–45% within the margins.
  • Markets such as Kalshi currently price a Democratic Senate majority at roughly 68%, though experts note that outcomes depend on final voter turnout and the accuracy of polling in competitive states.
  • Voters decide all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats today, as election watchers assess whether high turnout and nationalized politics will deliver a Senate majority to Democrats.
