Presidential poll: 3 of 4 voters worried about violence ahead of Election Day |
| Americans are increasingly worried about what will happen at the finish line of this year's tumultuous election, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, including whether the voting will be peaceful and the outcome broadly accepted. |
| Three of 4 voters express concern about the possibility of violence on Election Day. Only 1 in 4 say they are "very confident" that the nation will have a peaceful transfer of power if Democratic challenger Joe Biden defeats President Donald Trump. |
Biden leads Trump in Florida |
| Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a five-point lead over President Donald Trump among registered Florida voters, according to a Monmouth University poll released Thursday. |
| Among all registered voters, Biden has 50% support compared to Trump's 45%. The former vice president maintains that advantage among likely voters, with Biden holding a 51%-45% lead in the case of high voter turnout and a 50%-46% lead in a low turnout scenario. |
| Florida has been one of the most competitive battleground states in the country this electoral cycle, with some recent polls showing Trump narrowing Biden's lead in the state. |
McConnell: Chances are '50-50' that Senate control flips to Democrats |
| During a campaign stop Wednesday in Northern Kentucky, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the chances were "50-50'' that Republicans lose control of the Senate after Election Day. |
| "It's a 50-50 proposition. There are dogfights all over the country,'' the Republican leader told the crowd gathered at the headquarters for the Kona Ice Hawaiian-style shaved ice franchise in Florence. |
| McConnell said Republicans "have a lot of exposure'' in the battle for the Senate with 23 seats up for election, while Democrats have 12. |
| Democrats would need a net gain of three or four seats to win a majority in the Senate, which is currently held by Republicans with 53 senators. Democrats count 45 senators and there are two independent senators who caucus with Democrats. |
