Democrats gain in Texas, Michigan Senate races; Maine, Kansas tight, poll shows

A CNN/SSRS poll suggests Democrats are gaining traction in several Senate races, even as Republicans hold key seats. In Maine, Sen. Susan Collins faces Democrat Troy Jackson; the survey of about 800 likely voters found Jackson leading 49% to 45% with a 4.5-point margin of error, making the race too close to call. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton 49% to 43% among roughly 900 likely voters, despite visits by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has opened a lead over Republican Mike Rogers, 49% to 42% among 800 likely voters. The Kansas contest between Roger Marshall and Adam Hamilton is also tight, with Hamilton up 49% to 45%.
