The 2026 midterms: results and what the polls said
The midterm elections were held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Find each state's official results and the final generic ballot average on the 2026 midterms page, and how close each pollster came on the 2026 pollster scorecard.
Why November 7?
Federal law sets presidential elections on "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November" every fourth year. In 2028 the first Monday is November 6, so Election Day is Tuesday, November 7, 2028. Electors meet in December 2028 and Congress counts their votes on January 6, 2029; the next president is inaugurated on January 20, 2029.
