What the surveys asked, who answered, and what the results can tell us.

Evidence before predictions

This initial collection contains two surveys and three distinct questions. It does not establish a current statewide polling average or predict a winner. Historical surveys and voluntary reader polls are separated below.

Source review: 2026-09-10. A review date is not a poll field date. Coverage is not exhaustive.

How we handle polling

  • Show the source, sponsor, field dates and available methods. Missing information stays identified as missing.
  • Keep party-preference, named-candidate and issue questions separate. Do not average incompatible populations or methods.
  • Label historical matchups and voluntary surveys. A single survey is not a forecast.
  • Publish trends only when enough comparable surveys are available. Link the original questionnaire and crosstabs when available.
