Over time
How the forecast has moved
The margin
How close it lands
Each simulation produces a final margin. The curve shows where those margins fall; the tinted areas on either side of even are the futures each party wins.
Under the hood
What's driving the number
The forecast blends a weighted poll average with a fundamentals model: the state's partisan lean, incumbency, the national environment, and fundraising. Positive points favor the Democratic side of the margin; negative favor the Republican side.
- Partisan leanR +45.2
- IncumbencyEven
- National environmentD +4.7
- FundraisingR +1.5
- Fundamentals sayR +42.0
- Blended forecast marginR +42.0
With no usable polling, the forecast rests entirely on the fundamentals.
The field
How other forecasters see this race
Ours isn't the only model on this race. Where another forecaster publishes a number — or we've copied one in by hand from a paywalled model — it appears here beside ours, dated, because models update on their own schedules. Forecasts disagree for knowable reasons: different poll filters, different weights on the fundamentals, different priors.

The evidence
The polls, as the model sees them
Nobody has polled this race yet, so the forecast leans on the fundamentals above. Polls will show up here as they arrive.
