Maya Good afternoon, I'm Maya, this is Crosstab Live Midday.

Daniel And I'm Daniel at the wall. Nine days to election, Maya, and since the last live update, the picture hasn't moved.

Maya No new polls at all today, Daniel?

Daniel None we're adding right now. So let's work with what's on the board, starting with Senate control.

Maya Where does that stand?

Daniel A 66 percent chance of Democrats winning control, 34 percent for Republicans. Most likely outcome right now is 52 Democratic seats.

Maya That's a real split, Daniel. Any movement in the generic ballot?

Daniel Steady there too. Democrats sit at 52.8 percent, Republicans at 45.5 percent on the generic ballot.

Maya And the approval numbers for President Trump?

Daniel 36 percent approve, 59 percent disapprove. Those haven't shifted since our last check either.

Maya Let's zoom in. You've got a race for us, Daniel.

Daniel Kansas. Republican Marshall and Democrat Hamilton, separated by 0.1 points across 13 polls. No leader to call there.

Maya That's a race we're watching, all right.

Daniel Maya, with a margin like 0.1 points, what do you make of a race that close?

Maya It tells you just how tight this one is, Daniel. Thanks for walking us through it.

Maya That's Crosstab Live Midday. Join us again at 4 p.m. Eastern.
