Changed Kansas due to Kobach leading in the primary.


Version: 77

Tennessee: Lean R->Tossup<br /> Idaho: Safe R->Lean R

A more R-friendly prediction, though Democrats are favorites still in Ohio and New Hampshire.

Version: 13

AL: Safe R<br /> AK: Tossup, Tilt I: Despite Walker's low approval rating, the GOP candidates are weak, and the environment favors Walker.<br /> AZ: Tossup, Tilt D: Garcia is ahead of Ducey in polling, and can increase Latino turnout to defeat unpopular incumbent Ducey.<br /> AR: Safe R<br /> CA: Safe D<br /> CO: Likely D: In a state that's trending D, they should be fine.<br /> CT: Tossup, Tilt D: Malloy's "ghost" will haunt Dems, but they should be able to win a narrow victory.<br /> FL: Tossup, Tilt D: Scott barely won in 2014, and now that it's an open seat, Graham should pull this off.<br /> GA: Lean R: Although Abrams is a strong candidate, Republicans should be able to narrowly hold this one.<br /> HI: Safe D<br /> ID: Safe R<br /> IL: Lean D: The Democratic candidate is terrible, but Rauner's unpopularity will greatly help Democrats.<br /> IA: Tossup, Tilt D: Reynolds' unpopularity combined with good candidates should hand Democrats an extremely narrow win.<br /> KS: Tossup, Tilt R: Brownback's "ghost" will plague Colyer, but Orman's independent campaign may take enough votes from the Democrats to narrowly win, combined with the state's Republican lean.<br /> ME: Lean D: LePage's unpopularity combined with Collins' refusal to run will help the Democrats easily win.<br /> MD: Tossup, Tilt R: Although Hogan has high approval ratings, most Democrats will vote for his opponent (likely Jealous) and he will only narrowly win.<br /> MA: Safe R: Unlike Hogan, Baker has strong support even from Democrats.<br /> MI: Lean D: After the Flint water crisis, Snyder was in trouble. Gretchen Whitmer should be able to get >50% of the vote.<br /> MN: Lean D: Dayton is retiring, Tim Walz should beat Tim Pawlently, former governor, in an Evan Bayh-esque scenario.<br /> NE: Safe R<br /> NV: Tossup, Tilt D: Nevada his heavily trending Democratic, and Sandoval cannot run which reduces Republicans' ability to hold the seat.<br /> NH: Tossup, Tilt R: New Hampshire governor control flips frequently. Sununu will likely narrowly win, but Democrats will pick it up in 2020.<br /> NM: Likely D: Strong D candidate + Unpopular R incumbent + Trending Democratic = you get it.<br /> NY: Safe D<br /> OH: Tossup, Tilt R: Although Cordray is a good candidate, DeWine will narrowly win due to Kasich's decent approval and the state's Republican lean.<br /> OK: Likely R: The unpopularity of Fallin gives the Democrats a slim chance.<br /> OR: Safe D<br /> PA: Likely D: Wolf should be fine in a favorable year. <br /> RI: Lean D: Raimondo is unpopular, but it's Rhode Island and she should be able to win a narrow win.<br /> SC: Safe R<br /> SD: Safe R<br /> TN: Likely R: An open seat Democrats could win in a tidal wave.<br /> TX: Safe R<br /> VT: Likely R: Scott's popular in this sold blue state, but control of the governorship flips frequently. Not many good Democratic candidates.<br /> WI: Lean D: Walker's unpopularity combined with the recent Supreme Court election results should ensure Democrats can pick this one up.<br /> WY: Safe R
