Polling exists for this race; most races have none - we show it only where it’s real.
Third-party survey data from independent pollsters — distinct from PoliScope declared intent. Recency-weighted average of nonpartisan public polls from the last 90 days (half-life ~30 days). Internal and partisan-sponsored polls, and matchups testing candidates not in the filed field, are shown but excluded from the average. Not a forecast — a snapshot of published polling.
