Kansas, Maine Senate races neck and neck: CNN poll
Democrats have narrow leads in two key Senate contests with just a few days until the election, new polls show. New surveys conducted by CNN/SSRS released Thursday found Democrats ahead in the Kansas and Maine Senate races, though both leads are in the margin of error.
What the coverage shows
The outlets converge on the same poll-driven theme of very close Senate races, with Fox News and The Hill both foregrounding Kansas and Maine as narrow contests and saying the leads are within or near the margin of error. Fox News alone extends that framing to Texas and Michigan, saying Democrats lead in all four states, while Vox is the outlier, using the Texas race as a standalone focus and noting James Talarico is polling ahead of Ken Paxton. The Guardian US instead singles out South Carolina as tied, which is the only outlet to frame the coverage around that race.
