Poll's clearly underestimating Mike Rogers with seniors but they're just tied while Rogers wins the crucial 40-64. Abdul El-Sayed builds his margin on the low-energy under 40 crowd who are likely to say they'll vote and not show up.

We're seeing the same voting pattern play out in Ohio and Georgia:
— Matt Forney (@mattforney) October 13, 2026
- Black people (heavily Dem) are not voting
- Young people (heavily Dem) are not voting
No blacks and no youngs means no blue wave. https://t.co/K3ZYB0JjkX
Quote:
After the first days of early voting in Ohio, a state that could help determine control of the Senate, there are clear signs Democrats are more enthusiastic to vote.
So far, affiliated Democrats make up larger shares of pre-election voters than they did two years ago, even in the most Republican parts of the state.
At this point in 2024, Republicans had a 30-percentage point lead over Democrats in counties that voted for President Donald Trump by 20 points or more, according to data from the Ohio Secretary of State. This year, that's shrunk to just five points.
The data is just the latest sign of a positive midterm environment for Democrats, as former Sen. Sherrod Brown looks to defeat Republican Sen. Jon Husted, and it comes as a CNN poll finds Brown leading by six points. In the governor's race, Democrat Amy Acton leads Republican Vivek Ramaswamy by eight points.
The overall electorate so far is about 27 points more Democratic than it was at the same point in 2024.

I hope that's satire. The only people at his ever shrinking gatherings are people who were voting R anyway.
Inflation numbers released today topped 3.7%. That's a four month high. Up from 3.3% last month. It was 2.4% before the war. Gas prices were up 9% in September.
Diesel prices, which feed into supply costs for groceries and just about every other product bought in stores, stood at $6.29 a gallon, according to AAA. That figure amounts to an increase of about 66% since the outbreak of the Iran War.
Yeah, he's winning.
JUST IN: Gasoline prices surged 9.1% in September, accounting for roughly half of the 0.6% monthly CPI increase.

U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico and Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Vikki Goodwin each held 3-percentage-point leads over Republicans Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick, respectively.
Nathan Johnson, Gina Hinojosa and Jon Rosenthal had 1-point leads in their races for attorney general, governor and Railroad Commission.
