Here's what preliminary Voter Poll results show in key Senate races:

Ohio: Ohio Senate voters are negative on President Donald Trump, the economy and blame Trump.

Maine: Wide disapproval of Trump and blame for economic conditions, which they think are quite negative. Wide shares of voters here say party control of the Senate is a factor in their vote, but more trust Republican Sen. Susan Collins to get federal funding for the state than Democrat Troy Jackson. Similar shares say Collins is too supportive of Trump than say Jackson does not have the right temperament to serve as senator.
