On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Americans head to the polls for crucial midterm elections that will shape the future of Congress and numerous state offices. CiberCuba kicks off its comprehensive coverage with a live YouTube broadcast, hosted by journalist Tania Costa. Reporters stationed in Miami will provide on-the-ground updates, and a special election feature will deliver results and reactions as they unfold.
Key Races and Florida Focus
CiberCuba’s special coverage of the 2026 U.S. Elections highlights major races, with particular emphasis on Florida. Voters can explore information on the state’s 28 congressional districts, 67 counties, and various federal and state offices up for grabs. The spotlight will remain on Miami and the Cuban-American community, with timely updates as authorities release new data.
Pre-Election Polls and Predictions
The national Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted from October 29 to November 2, shows Democrats leading Republicans 52% to 44% among likely voters in the generic congressional preference. President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands at 32%, according to the same survey. However, these figures reflect national trends and do not predict specific district outcomes or overall control of Congress.
In Florida, a RedBox Research poll released on November 2 places Republican Byron Donalds at 47.1% against Democrat David Jolly at 46.1% in the governor’s race. For the federal Senate, Republican Ashley Moody holds a 47.5% lead over Democrat Angie Nixon at 45.1%. These figures represent state estimates and do not account for Cuban-American voting patterns.
Florida's Cuban-American Influence
The Florida section of CiberCuba’s special includes a map and details on the 28 congressional districts and state elections. In South Florida, attention centers on districts 26, 27, and 28, where Cuban-American Republican congressmen Mario Díaz-Balart, María Elvira Salazar, and Carlos Giménez seek reelection.
The attorney general race features Republican James Uthmeier against Democrat José Javier Rodríguez, of Cuban descent. Voters can access comprehensive information about the 67 counties, election contests, and Cuban-origin demographics. The Miami-Dade page offers insights into congressional and state legislative races, alongside official links for ballot checks and polling locations.

In Miami-Dade, a prior announcement shifted 19 precincts to 12 temporary sites. Voters should verify their updated polling location before heading out.
