U.S. Midterms: Senate Races and Voter Issues in Three Key States

I examine the stakes of the U.S. midterms, including their potential impact on President Trump and the balance of power in Congress. Pollster Lee Miring discusses polling, candidate dynamics, and issues shaping races in Michigan, New York, and Maine.

- National context: the midterms as a referendum on the president, and the political impact of the Iran conflict and cost of living.
- Michigan: the Senate contest between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, debate themes, and voter sentiment.
- New York and Maine: the governor’s race and turnout dynamics in New York, alongside Susan Collins’s Senate race in Maine.

For viewers following U.S. elections, this offers a focused snapshot of three states rather than a comprehensive survey of races nationwide. It provides context for tracking polling, campaign messages, and turnout as the elections approach.
