As midterm elections battles begin to heat up ahead of the 2022 vote, new polls suggest that Democrats will lose control of the Senate.
Currently, Democrats hold a slight majority in the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving at the tie-breaker in the 50-50 split chamber.
Just one seat lost to a Republican would mean the GOP scoops up the majority once again, and in many states, the race is currently shaping up to lean that way.
According to Newsweek, a poll from the Adam Laxalt campaign in Nevada showed Laxalt leading Cortez Masto by 39 percent to 37 percent. The poll was conducted by Chris Wilson of WPA Intelligence from September 11 to 15.
"Internal polling from September shows that this has quickly become a very tight race," a polling memo from the Laxalt campaign said, according to Newsweek. "With each passing day of the Biden presidency, the environment gets better for Republicans."
A VCreek/AMG poll showed Laxalt coming out on top as well, leading by a 10-point margin.
The battle spreads across the country though, not just in Nevada. In New Hampshire, incumbent Senator Maggie Hassan is set to battle it out with current New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu.
A Saint Anselm College poll has Republican Sununu beating Hassan, at 49 to 40 percent.
In Georgia, where January's special election garnered nationwide attention after Raphael Warnock beat Governor Brian Kemp-appointed Senator Kelly Loeffler for a seat, there is set to be another fierce battle, with NFL legend Herschel Walker running with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
A poll from Public Policy Polling in the beginning of August showed Warnock in the lead by a slight two points at 48-46.
Another battle is set to play out in Wisconsin if incumbent Republican Senator Ron Jonshon choses to run again. A Clarity Campaign Labs poll from September showed Johnson ties with potential Democratic candidate and Wisconsin lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes.
