President Donald Trump was scheduled to speak at Washington’s Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Monday as a Nov. 1 Senate poll showed Democrats leading in all seven races before Tuesday’s vote on control of Congress.
The Nov. 1 New York Times/Siena Research Institute release covered likely voters in seven Senate contests. Democratic candidates led in all seven, while Alaska and Iowa had the closest results.
In Alaska, Mary Peltola received 48% and Dan Sullivan 46%. Iowa’s Josh Turek was at 48%, compared with Ashley Hinson at 47%. In Kansas, Adam Hamilton led with 49%, followed by Roger Marshall at 44% and David Graham at 4%.
Troy Jackson led Susan Collins 51% to 45% in Maine. In Ohio, Sherrod Brown was at 49% and Jon Husted at 44%. Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed led Mike Rogers 53% to 42%, while James Talarico led Ken Paxton 50% to 43% in Texas. Siena reported margins of sampling error of ±3.8 percentage points in Michigan and ±3.4 points in Texas.
The Kansas figures continue EconoTimes’ earlier coverage of close polling in the Senate race. Siena Research Institute Executive Director Don Levy said many contests fell within the poll’s overall margin of error, leaving either party in contention for a Senate majority.
A Nov. 2 White House schedule gave Trump a 2 p.m. EST speaking slot at the Reflecting Pool. It also listed nine tele-rallies, with two before his remarks and seven afterward.
The Republican event listing set Vance’s Rome, New York, program for 9:15 a.m. EST. A pool report placed the end of his remarks at 11:29 a.m. EST and said he advocated for Anthony Constantino, the Republican candidate in New York’s 21st Congressional District.
The Associated Press reported that Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed urged voters to turn out at a Monday event in Ypsilanti, Michigan. “If we’re nervous about where we’re going to go from here, go vote,” El-Sayed said, according to the AP.
The Associated Press reported that Tuesday’s election would determine the balance of power in Congress for the remainder of Trump’s term. Voters go to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3.
