Data from the polling aggregator RealClearPolitics indicates that Democratic candidates hold more than 51% support on the generic congressional ballot, while Republicans hold less than 43%. The Insider reports that Democrats lead in all major polls, though lead margins vary by state and race. While Democrats are working to maintain Senate seats in states like Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire, Republicans are facing difficult races in several areas.

The Insider notes unexpectedly tight contests in Alaska and Kansas, as well as in Texas, where Democrat James Talarico is narrowly leading Republican Ken Paxton. Talarico's campaign has received public support from Neil Bush. Challenges facing the party in power include inflation, fuel prices, the war in Iran, government inefficiency, and rising healthcare costs.
