Senate Shift Poll

New Polls Show Democrats Gaining Ground to Flip Multiple Key Senate Seats

Democrats are gaining leads or near-ties in five key Senate races in Republican states, according to new New York Times/Siena University polls. Democrats are aiming to win control of the Senate, particularly in Texas and Alaska, where they have an edge in both. They also have an advantage in Ohio, which has been tilting rightward for years, and are neck-and-neck with Republicans in Kansas. These results are attributed to President Trump's unpopularity, disapproval of the Iran war, and high gas prices and living costs. To win Senate control, Democrats need to flip four Republican-held seats while maintaining their current seats in three battleground states.
