Ratings by the Cook Political Report, Inside Elections and Sabato's Crystal Ball as of October 22, 2026, as compiled by Wikipedia (1, 2, 3, 4). Candidates from Ballotpedia and state election offices; write-ins are left out and a minor candidate may be missing. Senate and governor races are here when at least one forecaster rates them Toss-up, Tilt or Lean; House races when all three call them a toss-up. Ratings change, and we update the page as they do. Where to watch and every state's poll closing times: election night.
