In an ominous sign for Donald Trump — who has endorsed some of the most controversial candidates — more people said they wanted Republicans to gain control of the Senate but preferred Democratic candidates in their state. The new poll from The New York Times and Siena College found that in Arizona, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly leads Republican challenger Blake Masters 51 percent to 45 percent. In Georgia, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock leads former NFL star Herschel Walker 49 percent to 46 percent. In Pennsylvania, voters were evenly split on which party they wanted to control the Senate, but slightly favored Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz, 49 percent to 44 percent. Pollsters were keen to point out that much of the research came before their debate, where Mr Fetterman was struggling, having suffered a stroke earlier in the campaign. Nevada is currently the closest race, with Democratic incumbent Sen. Kathryn Cortez Masto and her Republican challenger, Adam Laxalt, deadlocked at 47 percent.
