I haven't been able to find good information this year, either. This might help tho.

I don't trust the polls. A lot are republican leaning and they miss a lot of voters. Plus there are too many variables this year, you don't know what people are listening to, what messages are breaking through. My brother wasn't going to vote, but we have the possibility of getting JD Vance and some state supreme court justices that could impact abortion access and gerrymandering, so I am going to try to drag him with me when I go Sunday. He's been keeping a cold tho, so I don't really want to ride in a car with him...lol...
Pundits are all over the place. Red wave, blue wave, too close to call. I'm going to assume everything is too close to call and hope everyone gets out to vote and that dems win in large enough numbers that they can say they have a mandate for their agenda, just like the GOP does even if they win by only one vote.

Insight: In the hunt for voter fraud, Republican door knockers are intimidating residents: officials
The canvassers in California's Shasta County in September wore reflective orange vests and official-looking badges that read “Voter Taskforce.” Four residents said they mistook them for government officials.

"I spent close to four hours this week on my mail-in ballot. I researched every candidate, proposition, and judicial nominee. Even on propositions I was certain about, I did a deep dive just to make sure I hadn’t missed some nuance in the fine print. Even after all that research and filling in my ballot, I wasn’t a hundred percent sure about everything. You never can be in life. All you can do is use reason, logic, and facts to come to the best conclusion.
Laziness is what is threatening democracy. It’s easier for people to join a political party and regurgitate their policies than go through the effort of researching, agonizing, and deciding. Political ads are a joke, usually twisting the facts into some half-truth clothed in an emotional appeal meant to bypass critical thinking. The theory behind political ads is to make you vote for something that makes you feel good about yourself the way dogs are rewarded with a treat when they do what we ask.
From what I can tell, many people use midterm elections to punish rather than forge a better future. For example, there are issues with the economy right now and polls show voters want to blame Democrats. But the facts about the economy show the exact opposite. The deficit has been reduced, even though it had ballooned under the previous Republican presidents. Yes, there’s inflation, but that inflation is worldwide. Do you seriously think that a Republican Congress will do anything vastly different concerning the economy than the Democrats? The real issues are about domestic freedoms and protecting the rights of the marginalized."
