Democrats Just Hit a Midterm Polling Milestone in the Battle for the Senate With Midterms Less Than 60 Days Away​

Decision Desk HQ gives the Democrats a 67% chance of taking back control of the House of Representatives, but the Senate has been consistently seen as safely in Republican hands until the latest projection.

Some Republicans have already been sounding the alarm.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) admitted last week he feared Dems would take the Senate.

The conservative named nine states he believes the Dems can take — and take control of the Senate — during a podcast appearance with with ex-Trump press secretary Sean Spicer.

“[With] the Senate, I’m really worried,” Cruz said. “North Carolina, the numbers are rough, Georgia the numbers are rough, but we have very competitive races in Maine, Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas. I mean, all of those races are within a couple of points of each other. So it — I hope it’s not — but it could be a really rough election.”
