US Midterms 2026: Democrats Gain Ground in Texas and Ohio as Polls Raise GOP Concerns| CNN

Описание: Are traditionally Republican states becoming competitive battlegrounds ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections?

New polling has put Democrats ahead in key Senate races in Ohio and Texas. In Ohio, Democratic former senator Sherrod Brown leads Republican incumbent Jon Husted 49% to 43% in a CNN poll. In Texas, Democratic state representative James Talarico leads Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton 51% to 45% in a New York Times/Siena University poll.

The numbers raise fresh questions about the Republican Party’s ability to defend crucial Senate seats as President Donald Trump’s policies, economic concerns and the national political climate shape the midterm campaign.

Can Democrats turn polling leads into victories in traditionally Republican territory? Will the GOP close the gap before Election Day? And what could these races mean for control of the US Senate and Congress?
