What to Watch

Governor's Races: The Toss-Up Cluster

No debates or filing deadlines are on the calendar this week, but the governor landscape carries enough competitive contests to watch closely regardless.

A second tier sits just outside the Toss-up category. New Mexico is rated Lean D, while Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota are Likely D. On the other side, Kansas and Nebraska are rated Likely R. These races are less volatile than the Toss-up tier, but any narrowing in polling would signal a shift worth tracking heading into the next stretch of the cycle.
