Nolte: GOP Leads in Most U.S. Senate Polls Ahead of Midterm Elections

Currently, Democrats have 47 seats in the U.S. Senate to the GOP’s 53. In the upcoming midterms, if Democrats want to gain control of the Senate, they must hold on to all of their seats and flip four. According to the latest polling from the New York Times/Sienna, that’s not going to happen.

The Democrat Party’s primary hopes lie in flipping Texas, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, and Alaska.
