Early Vote Data Shows Democratic Surge, but GOP Pushes Late Turnout
As of October 22, 2026, more than 18 million Americans have cast early ballots for the November 3 midterms. Analysis indicates a significant Democratic advantage in early voting, particularly in key Senate battlegrounds like Georgia and Iowa. However, experts caution that this does not predict the final outcome, as Republicans historically perform better on Election Day. President Trump is campaigning in Iowa to boost Republican turnout, while Democrats highlight high enthusiasm levels among their base.
