Polls

Dot size shows the weight a poll gets. The line is the model's polling average, with its 80% band. The bar at right is the 80% range of the forecast on election day.

Range of outcomes

James Byrd wins in <1% of simulations (about 1 in 10000 for the underdog). Median margin R+36.0.

Chance of winning over time

Daily reruns of the model

Each day is a fresh run of today's model using only the polls that had finished by the day before. Daily runs since Jul 1.

How the forecast is built

Fundamentals R+35.6. Wyoming voted R+45.8 for president in 2024, 44.3 points more Republican than the nation. Add the national generic-ballot margin (D+8.7).

No public polls, so the forecast is fundamentals only, with wider uncertainty.

What this race means for control

Because polling errors are correlated, a win here usually comes with wins elsewhere.
