US midterms: Six days left - who leads in the polls as Trump, Obama rally

Key Points:

• With six days remaining before the US midterm elections, Democrats lead Republicans by nine points nationally according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, but key Senate races in Texas, Michigan, Kansas, and Ohio remain highly competitive and too close to call.
• President Trump intensified his campaign efforts with two rallies in Texas, promoting Republican candidates and energy policies, while former President Obama and ex-Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for Democrats in Georgia.
• Texas and Kansas Senate races are particularly tight, with heavy campaign spending and visits from top Republican figures including Trump and Vice President JD Vance, reflecting Republican concerns about losing traditionally strong states.
• On Wednesday, Trump will hold rallies in Ohio and Iowa as Republicans defend vulnerable Senate seats, while Democrats focus on Georgia with major campaign events by Obama, Harris, and Senate candidate Jon Ossoff.
• Voter sentiment remains affected by issues such as inflation, energy prices, and the US-Israel conflict, with new polls due Wednesday in Wisconsin expected to provide further insight into voter priorities and candidate standings.
