Democrats Lead Midterm Polls as Trump Shifts to Phone Rallies
Al Jazeera reported that President Donald Trump cancelled two scheduled in-person rallies and switched to telephone events in nearly 20 states, as a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Democrats holding an eight-point national lead with four days remaining before the midterm elections. Earlier, Al Jazeera cited a Reuters/Ipsos poll that gave Democrats a nine-point advantage, and NPR reported U. S.
midterm campaign spending had topped $11 billion. CNN noted that Trump held a rally in Ohio, while The Guardian said former President Barack Obama appeared on the campaign trail as Trump continued his daily rally schedule. CNN also highlighted that Senate contests in South Carolina, Minnesota and Florida were tightening, keeping the overall race competitive.
