Democrats Projected to Gain Senate Control as Polls Show Potential Eight-Seat Flip
Source Summary
Polls project Democrats could flip as many as eight Senate seats from Republican control on Election Day, potentially giving Democrats Senate control. The shift is attributed to President Trump's declining job approval rating and voter dissatisfaction over rising prices.
Why it matters
Senate control determines which party sets the legislative agenda and confirms federal judges and cabinet officials for the next two years.
What remains uncertain
Polls are projections and actual results may differ from current polling predictions.
