US midterms: New poll shows Democrats gain ground in seven key Senate battlegrounds, putting GOP strongholds at risk
Democrats lead in five Republican-held Senate contests, including Texas, Kansas and Ohio, while their advantage is strongest in Michigan, as per new poll.
Democratic candidates are gaining ground in seven key Senate battlegrounds, according to a new poll, potentially jeopardizing Republican control of the chamber. The New York Times/Siena poll shows Democrats leading in states such as Texas, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, and Alaska. Iowa and Michigan also show close races, while Democrats have a significant lead in Michigan, the only state among the seven where Republicans are targeting a Democratic-held seat.
While the poll indicates a likely Democratic Senate majority, the narrow margins in several contests suggest outcomes remain uncertain.
