Ahead of the November 3, 2026 US midterm elections, polls and prediction markets indicate Democrats leading in key Senate battleground states including Texas, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, and Alaska, with a narrow contest in Iowa. Democrats aim to flip at least four Republican-held seats to regain Senate control, while also favored to win the House. President Trump has intensified criticism of Democratic policies during campaign rallies. Battleground counties in Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina may be decisive in Senate outcomes amid voter concerns over the economy and governance.
