POLLING · SURVEYS, NOT PREDICTIONS
What do the polls say?
15 survey records
Individual surveys of 2026 contests, including earlier cycle history from 2025. Matchups and populations stay separate; older or hypothetical matchups do not establish who is on the current ballot.
Simple average, not a forecast
Each pollster’s latest general-election survey ending within the last 30 days, with equal weight. Reviewed candidate identities join spelling variants; different matchups and voter populations stay separate. Percentages describe reported support, not a chance of winning.
Newest fieldwork appears first. When dates tie, the default favors more pollsters not marked internal or partisan in this 30-day window. Source labels remain visible; this is not a pollster-quality rating.

Party colors: Republican red, Democratic blue, Independent purple. Other or unmatched affiliations are gray. Dash patterns distinguish candidates sharing a color.
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.

Latest surveys · selected matchup
Individual reports. Original sources and methodology below.
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.

Follow campaign money
Governor campaigns file with their state’s campaign-finance authorities. Federal candidate totals do not describe this race.
These are party contracts, not odds for each named candidate. Independent candidates are not represented by either party contract. Separate contract prices need not add to 100%. A “No” price is not automatically the opposing party’s price.
Prices are supplied and updated directly by Polymarket. If a widget is blocked or unavailable, use its source link; Election.org does not substitute a cached price or zero. Trading buttons are disabled. Widgets load automatically near the screen and contact Polymarket; privacy details.
