> A New York Times-Siena University poll finds Democrats ahead in five of seven closely watched Senate contests as the 2026 midterm campaign winds down, with no clear leader in the other two. If the polls match Tuesday’s results, Democratic wins in four Republican-held states where they lead beyond the sampling margin could flip Senate control, provided they also retain their current seats.
