What to Watch
Governor's Races: Three Toss-Ups Anchor the Map
Ten governor's races are on the board, with the closest contests concentrated in Arizona, Florida, and Georgia, all rated Toss-up. These three will draw the most attention for turnout patterns and late polling movement, since none carries a clear directional lean.
Lean and Likely Contests Worth Tracking
Kansas sits at Lean R, while Minnesota and New Mexico are rated Lean D — each close enough that a shift in the ratings would be notable. Iowa and Michigan stand at Likely D, with Nebraska and New Hampshire at Likely R. These are less competitive than the toss-ups but worth watching for any tightening.
No scheduled events are listed for the coming week. Readers should watch the toss-up states most closely, as movement there is most likely to reshape the overall map.
