2026 pollster ratings
For each pollster we take its final poll (from the last 30 days before the election) in every race called between a Democrat and a Republican, and compare it with the result. They're ranked by their average miss and need at least two races.

How to read these ratings
- One election is a small sample: a pollster can be lucky or unlucky. Check how many races sit behind each number.
- Results can still move by a few tenths until counting finishes.
- The margin is the top Democrat minus the top Republican in each poll.
