Cook Political Report Moves Kansas Senate Race to Toss-Up; YouGov Poll Shows Hamilton 48, Marshall 45
The Cook Political Report on October 6 moved Kansas' U.S. Senate race to 'Toss-Up,' signaling that what was once considered a safe Republican seat has become genuinely competitive. A new YouGov poll shows Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton at 48% and Republican incumbent Roger Marshall at 45%, within the margin of error — a striking result in a state that has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968. The Cook Political Report's rating change reflects both the polling and the national environment.
Marshall, first elected in 2020, is running for a second term. His Democratic opponent has campaigned on health care costs and protecting Social Security, while Marshall has emphasized his alignment with the Trump administration's agenda.
Kansas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932, making a competitive race historic in its own right. Both national parties are now pouring resources into the state.
