US midterms: 3 days to go – What latest polls say as early voting surges

What the report says

With three days left before the US midterm elections, Al Jazeera reports that Democrats are ahead in national polling while early voting continues to climb across the country. The outlet said more than 43 million Americans had already cast ballots by Friday, a pace well above the comparable point in the 2022 midterms. It also noted especially strong early turnout in states with closely watched Senate contests, including Texas and Georgia.

Citing recent polling averages and surveys, Al Jazeera said Democrats hold a clear lead in the national congressional vote, which could improve their chances of winning control of the House. The reporting suggested the Senate remains more uncertain, with expectations more closely split between the two parties. A political analyst quoted by the outlet said the House appears more likely to change hands than the Senate.

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump reversed an earlier decision and kept weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa on his schedule, after campaigning in Florida on Friday. Al Jazeera said Republicans view his in-person appearances as a way to energize supporters before Election Day. Democrats are also making final appeals, with former President Bill Clinton appearing in Mississippi and other party figures campaigning in battleground races.

The article provides broader context on how high turnout and late campaigning could shape the outcome of contests for Congress, governors’ offices and key state races. It also highlights that early vote totals do not reveal how those ballots were cast, leaving the final result uncertain until Election Day returns are counted.
