Democrats Edge Out Republicans in 7 Heated Senate Races: NYT Polls
New polling shows Democrats ahead in all seven contests, with only two candidates clearly outside the margin of error.
- New polling from The New York Times and Siena Research Institute finds Democrats leading or tied in seven competitive Senate races just two days before Election Day on Tuesday.
- President Trump's declining approval ratings, tariff tensions with Canada, and concerns over candidate quality have put more Senate seats in play as Democrats seek the four seats needed to regain control.
- In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers 53 to 42; Texas Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton 50 to 43; Maine Democrat Troy Jackson leads Republican Susan Collins 51 to 45.
- Democrat Haley Stevens reversed her endorsement of El-Sayed on Sunday, backing Republican Mike Rogers instead; party leaders dismissed the move as an "unhelpful distraction" before the election.
- Every Democrat polled led their Republican rival among independent voters, a trend that bolsters Decision Desk HQ's forecast of a 62 percent chance of Democrats taking the Senate this week.
