Dots show reported support. Lines connect surveys over time—not an average or forecast. Pollsters can differ. Missing values and multiple surveys ending on the same date break the lines.

How to read this chart

No average, trend estimate, or win probability. Different matchups and populations are not combined. Dates mark the last day people were surveyed. The vertical scale always starts at zero; use “Full 0–100% scale” to compare charts on the same scale. The number of people surveyed is the survey sample size, not the number supporting a candidate. Select “Survey source” to inspect every report, including overlapping dots.

Labels and figures are supplied by VoteHub. A listed matchup does not establish ballot qualification or primary/general-election status unless the source explicitly says so. Unlisted responses may include undecided voters or other choices; the displayed figures are not rescaled to total 100%.

Polling compilation: VoteHub · CC BY 4.0. Election.org normalizes dates, matches races, and visualizes reported results; it does not estimate outcomes. Original survey links are attached to each report.

FILING RECORDS

Not the certified ballot.

Seat identity and the election schedule are verified separately from FEC filings. A filing does not establish ballot qualification.

FEC PUBLIC RECORD

Listed alphabetically, with equal fields for each candidate. A missing summary stays “Not reported”; it never becomes zero.

Published election schedule

Primary, runoff, and general dates

DATES MAY CHANGE
PRIMARYMarch 17, 2026FEC congressional primary calendar
RUNOFFNo runoff date listedConfirm qualification rules with the state election office.
GENERALNovember 3, 2026Regular federal general election.

The FEC publishes this calendar but does not administer elections. State and local election officials determine ballot access, voting methods, and official candidate lists.

How to use this race page

Research the field without inventing certainty.

What is verified

FEC identity, office, state or district, filing classification, and available campaign-finance summaries; the FEC-published election dates are separately sourced.

What is not verified

Ballot qualification, ballot order, withdrawal status after the bulk file, primary eligibility, or a complete official sample ballot.

What to do next

Use each candidate record for money and source history, then confirm the final ballot through the responsible state or local election authority.
