Donald Trump and the Republican party are hoping to retain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate next week come November 6.
The midterms elections race has been a close call, with Republicans and Democrats clashing with margins of just two or three points in the Senate polls.
The outcome would decide how powerful Mr Trump’s government could be in the future and may even decide the position of the President himself.
A flip in the House of Representatives is truly on the cards this year as all 435 members are up for reelection, along with a third of the Senate chamber.
Who will win the elections in the USA next week?
Polls are set to open for main voting on November 6 this year, although many people have already started.
Early voting has commenced in select states, with people who are unable to vote on the official date starting now.
Voter turnout is an all-time high, and recent polls from USA TODAY have suggested Donald Trump’s leadership is a core factor a developing tide against him.
The newest polls have predicted a surging turnout in favour of the Democrats when it comes to the House of Representatives, but an uphill struggle for them in the Senate.
Pollsters FiveThirtyEight have collated the results of a selection of different polls administered in the run up to the midterm elections.
They have constructed a reliable outlook of the Midterm outcome, with percentage values pointing towards who will take the House and Senate.
In the House, the Democrats are on course for taking the majority, as FiveThirtyEight have provided an 86 percent chance they will take vote.
This is an average seat gain of 39 and would extinguish the current Republican majority.
For the Senate race, FiveThirtyEight have the odds stacked against the Democrats.
Only 35 seats out of the total 100 are up for reelection, and Republicans are already in control of Congress’ upper chamber, so odds were already against a flip here.
The chance of Republicans holding on to their current majority is at 84.9 percent, but would still allow an average seat gain to the Democrats.
Polls suggest the Democrats will still secure a two seat gain, but just half that of a potential Republican four seat gain.
What would the midterm results mean for President Trump?
Donald Trump could be threatened with impeachment if the Republicans are allowed to lose significant ground to the Democrats.
Impeachment proposals are drawn up and voted through to the House of Representatives by a majority, which would be more likely with Democrats in the higher numbers.
Should Republicans secure their control or manage to drive their influence deeper into the House and Senate, Donald Trump’s orders and bills would be expedited.
Republican control in the Senate and house would mean bills could be easily passed and receive assent much more quickly, and Mr Trump’s campaign promises - such as repealing Obamacare - would be easily fulfilled.
