Fight for Senate Tied Closely to White House Race

“The outlook for about a dozen competitive Senate contests remains closely tied to President Trump’s standing in the final days of the race, with polls indicating few people plan to split their vote between a Democrat and a Republican,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“In most of the states where polls show Mr. Trump leading, they also show the GOP senate candidate leading. Likewise, where polls show former Vice President Joe Biden in front, they show the Democratic Senate candidate in front. In only a handful of states does ticket splitting look to potentially be a deciding factor.”
