Is there a Senate popular vote?
Not a meaningful one. Senators serve six-year terms, so only about a third of the Senate is elected in any year, and which states vote changes from one election to the next. Adding up Senate votes mostly measures which states happened to have a race, which is why the House popular vote is the standard national measure.

Some states hold two Senate races in a year and many hold none, so a summed Senate vote can't be compared from one election to the next. Senators were chosen by state legislatures, not voters, until the 17th Amendment in 1913.
Every House seat, by contrast, is up every two years in every state, so the House total covers the whole country. Democrats lead the 2026 House popular vote by 12.4 points, 62,109,867 votes to 48,253,691.
