politicsOct 27, 202634543

A PBS News/NPR/Marist poll released with seven days until the Nov. 3 midterms finds Democrats leading Republicans 52% to 44% among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot. The poll frames the contest as tilted toward Democrats in the final week of voting, with parties and volunteers emphasizing early voting and turnout. Organizers and volunteers across states are urging early voting, mobilizing poll workers, and holding poll-watcher trainings, including listed events by Texas Democrats. Campaigns on both sides are likely to shift resources and final outreach in response to the margin during this last stretch before Election Day.
