The Dick Morris Show: Midterms, Polling, and AI

So go back to the election.

The Senate race is becoming clearer.

It takes a little while for the House races to become clearer because voters don't make up their mind until later on in the district with statewide races.

Plus there's 400.

They focus

on earlier, and there are 435.

House races is only about 35 Senate races.

But in the Senate, we'll know more about the House in a few weeks, but in the Senate, it's pretty clear that this trend has been in the Republican favor.

There are six Senate seats currently held by Republicans that the Democrats would like to pick up, really seven now.

And in those six, which are Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, just added, Maine, and Alaska.

Ohio, Texas, Maine, yeah.

And in those six seats, the Democrats have lost ground in each of those.

and goes on state by state.

In Ohio, the last three polls in Ohio's close Senate race between Republican-appointed Senator John Husted, who took Vance's seat, and the Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown, who lost to Marino in 2002, shows the Republican catching up.

A September 24th poll by Marist had Brown ahead by eight, Then a week later, the Suffolk University had Brown ahead by three.

Now Brown's ahead by only one, 44 to 43.

And that's because more voters are getting to know who Huttstead is.

And this is a state Trump carried by 11 points.

So Ohio is going to go Republican.

And it was just a question of time for the Republicans to learn who the candidate was.

Texas is another example.

Texas is a solidly Republican state.

But because there was a tremendous split in the Republican primary between Cornyn, the incumbent, and Paxton, the challenger, that was a fairly bitter contest.

And as a result, Paxton opened up behind Tallarico.

Now voters are learning who Tallarico is.
