## Summary

South Carolina’s Senate race has been moved from “Lean R” to “Toss-up” after polling showed Republican Sen. Darline Graham and Democratic challenger Annie Andrews tied at 48 per cent. The shift adds another competitive contest to a Senate map that could determine which party controls the chamber.

The article says six states remain in play, with Democrats potentially reaching 54 seats on a strong night and Republicans retaining control with as many as 52. It describes a wider Democratic advantage in House polling alongside closer Senate contests, partly because several battlegrounds are in states Donald Trump won by at least 11 points. It also links declining approval of Trump, from 44 per cent before the Iran conflict to 36 per cent afterwards, and voter concerns over inflation, petrol prices, government leadership and the war to Democratic advantages on key issues.
