PBS NewsHour reported that new polls suggest surprising Democratic gains in red-state Senate races. In a report by Liz Landers, New polls suggest surprising Democratic gains in red-state Senate races said President Trump headed to Ohio to rally voters in a race that could determine control of the Senate.
According to the PBS NewsHour report, that stop followed dueling rallies in another key state, which offered a snapshot of the divisions shaping the midterm elections. The summary of that report does not name the other state.
The two reports describe different pictures. The New York Times pointed to South Carolina as a serious race and to Florida as out of reach for Democrats, while PBS NewsHour reported polling that suggests Democratic gains in red-state races. The available summaries do not say which states the PBS NewsHour polling covers.
