A new set of polls from The New York Times finds that Democratic
candidates are doing remarkably well in the Republican-leaning
states that they need to win to gain control of the U.S. Senate
in next month’s midterm elections.

They are doing less well in the blue states that, in theory,
should be easier to win.

Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The Times, offers his
idea of what is behind the numbers.

Guest: Nate Cohn, The New York Times’s chief
political analyst.

Background reading:

Polls suggested that Hispanic voters, whose support helped
propel President Trump to the White House in 2024, would largely
support the Democratic Party this time.

Senator Susan Collins of Maine led polls for the first time
since Graham Platner dropped out of the race in July.
