US midterms: 2 days to go - Who leads in the polls as Trump rallies

Al Jazeera • • nation

Key Points:

  • With two days remaining before the US midterm elections, Democratic and Republican leaders are intensifying efforts to attract voters, focusing heavily on the cost-of-living crisis worsened by US-Israel tensions with Iran.
  • Latest polls show Democrats leading Republicans nationally by around 51.5% to 43.1%, but several Senate races remain highly competitive and could determine control of Congress.
  • President Trump is campaigning in key states Iowa and Kansas, while Democrat Abdul El-Sayed faces Islamophobic attacks but campaigns in Michigan, emphasizing affordability and healthcare.
  • Over 51 million Americans have voted early, though early voting data does not indicate party preference; turnout, especially among young voters and women, is expected to be crucial.
  • Democrats are favored to retain the House majority, but Senate control is uncertain due to close races in several states; polling may underestimate Republican support due to nonresponse bias.
