Six days to go until Election Day and Republicans are looking for six Senate seats to take the majority. A look at the battleground map shows 10 key states that show the most uncertainty in the final push to the midterms — and today on The Trail, we looked at three of those key states:
In Arkansas, the Senate race between Mark Pryor and Republican challenger Rep. Tom Cotton is winding down with no clear winner predicted: the latest NBC News/Marist poll shows Cotton leading by 2 points (down from the previous month when he led by 5 points).
There’s also a tough match-up for Democrats is in Iowa, where Bruce Braley has had party stars like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Michelle Obama, and both Clintons stump for him. But a new poll today shows Republican State Sen. joni Ernst expanding her narrow lead over the Democratic congressman.
Over in Kentucky, the most-talked about Senate race is still within reach for Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is turning to one of her most popular surrogates to try and defeat Sen. Mitch McConnell.
