Midterms 2026: Congress Polls and More - NBC News

US midterm elections see record ad spending

Republicans are investing significantly in the 2026 US midterm elections with huge donations to secure Senate seats. The cost of advertising has surged a new record ahead of the elections. Surveys indicate a unstable political landscape as election day approaches. Donald Trump has canceled rallies in Kansas and Iowa, while his campaign has had a dispute with former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail. The midterms are under intense scrutiny with a few days until election day.

“The cost of advertising has surged a new record ahead of the elections,” — Chloe Radcliffe, senior market analyst at Birley Wick Practice, added during the briefing.
