Midterms 2026: Congress Polls and More - NBC News — High ad spending signals strong Republican push in 2026 midterms

Republicans are making heavy investments in the 2026 US midterm elections with large cash contributions to secure Senate seats. Advertising spending has hit a new peak ahead of the elections. Data shows a unstable political landscape as election day gets closer. Donald Trump has called off rallies in Kansas and Iowa, while his campaign has faced off with former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail. The midterms are watched carefully with four days left election day.

“Advertising spending has hit a new peak ahead of the elections,” — Simone Whitfield, contributing analyst at Halton Ton Media, added during the briefing.
