DemDaily: Senate Landscape: Polling Update!

October 1, 2026

As the US Senate races continue to shift at a historically rapid pace — toward Democrats — control of the upper chamber after the midterms still hangs in the balance.

To keep you updated, the latest polls on our top seven toss-up contests — in Alaska (Sullivan/R), Kansas (Marshall/R), Maine (Collins/R), and Ohio (Husted/R), and the open seats in Iowa (Ernst/R), Michigan (Peters/D) and Texas (Cornyn/R).

35 of the 100 US Senate seats are up for election in 2026, with Democrats defending 13 seats (including four open seats) and Republicans defending 22 seats (including eight open seats). With a 53-47 GOP majority in the Senate, Democrats will need to flip a net four seats to retake the Senate.
