US Midterm Polls – FiveThirtyEight Forecast Puts Senate On Knife-edge As Obama Set To Stump For Fetterman

With one week to go until the final day of voting in the midterm elections, Joe Biden is headed to Florida to campaign with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist, who is fighting an uphill battle to unseat Governor Ron DeSantis.

Eko Hot Blog reports that former President Barack Obama is continuing his late-in-the-game tour of crucial states as the Democrats try and drive up voter enthusiasm and turnout among their base. He will be campaigning together with Mr Biden this weekend.

EDITOR’S PICK

Control of the US Senate still hangs in the balance as new polls show Democrats narrowly ahead or tied in key states.

According to one survey from The New York Times and Siena College, Arizona’s Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania ’s John Fetterman and Georgia’s Rapheal Warnock are all ahead by 3-6 points. Were all three to win, that would represent a net pickup of one seat for the Democrats.

However, should Mr Warnock finish with under 50 per cent of the vote after 8 November, he and Mr Walker will be forced into a January runoff election.
