POLL-Republicans close in on Democrats in Michigan, North Carolina Senate races

Here are the latest results for three Senate races on which Reuters/Ipsos is polling: NORTH CAROLINA (Oct. 14-20 poll) * Voting for Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham: 47% * Voting for Republican Senator Thom Tillis: 47% * Cunningham led Tillis 46%-42% in the prior week. * 12% said they had already voted.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina pulled even with his Democratic challenger, and in Michigan, the Republican candidate for a U.S. Senate seat cut into the Democratic incumbent's lead, Reuters/Ipsos polls showed on Tuesday.

There are about 12 competitive U.S. Senate races this year, 10 with vulnerable Republican incumbents and two with vulnerable Democrats. To have a majority in the Senate, Democrats need to pick up three seats if the party wins the White House, which gives the vice president a tie-breaking vote, and four if not.
