US midterms: two days to go, Democrats still ahead in national polls
Two days before the US congressional midterm elections, Democrats keep their lead in national polls. President Donald Trump and candidates, including El-Sayed, are making final campaign stops.
With two days left before the US midterm elections, the Democratic Party still leads Republicans in national polls. Midterms take place halfway through a presidential term, and voters use them to decide the make-up of Congress. The outcome therefore affects how easily President Donald Trump can pursue his agenda from here on.
Final stretch of the campaign
As voting day approaches, Trump and several candidates, among them one named El-Sayed, are heading out on the campaign trail for a last push. Final-days rallies and appearances are typically used to energise supporters before election day.
What the polls show
According to the source, Democrats retain their advantage in national polls. It does not give the size of that lead or the specific polling figures, so it is unclear how it might translate into seats in Congress.
Polls only capture the mood before the vote. The final result will be set by how people vote on election day.
