Which races are you most optimistic/pessimistic about?

[VAR]

I’m optimistic about Iowa, Maine, & Montana. Most pessimistic about the GA races as I think Ossoff getting to 50% is more likely than people think.

[7,052,770]

Pessimistic - SC, AK, KS, MT, AL
Optimistic - both GA, TX, IA, NC, ME, CO, AZ

Predicting a 54-46 (58-46 probably) Senate

[MT Treasurer]

Only doing competitive races (i.e., not CO/AZ):

Optimistic: IA, ME (relatively speaking, obviously -- I know it won’t be easy in this environment).

A little more optimistic than I used to be but still not overly so: NC, SC, KS, TX.

Pessimistic: GA-R, GA-S, MI

‘Very concerned’: MT (a potential tipping-point race that people write off with "yeah it’ll stay Republican anyway if Rs hold IA/ME/etc. This race really shouldn’t be considered less competitive than the other battleground races, and a scenario in which MT denies Republicans the Senate majority is nowhere near as unlikely as people here think. Yes, Daines could lose even if Collins, Tillis, and Ernst all win.)

[TrendsareUsuallyReal]

Optimistic: CO GA (both) TX AZ NC
Pessimistic: ME (too close for comfort) MT (more neutral) IA AL KS AK

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Optimistic: AZ, ME, NC, SC, TX, GA-Perdue
Pessimistic: IA, MI

No strong feelings either way: AK, CO, GA-Special, KS, MT

[ProgressiveModerate]

Pessimistic - SC, AK, KS, MT, AL
Optimistic - both GA, TX, IA, NC, ME, CO, AZ

Predicting a 54-46 (58-46 probably) Senate

So, basically partisanship winning out?

[Xing]

Optimistic: GA, MI, TX (more so than before)
Pessimistic: IA, KS, MT, NC

Not sure about ME.

[TML]

Among races rated by at least one reputable rating organization as not more than “Lean”:

Optimistic: AZ, CO, ME, MI, NC, NH, NM
Jump-ball: IA, GA, GA-S, MT
Pessimistic: AK, AL, KS, SC, TX

Tilt R: GAx2, MT, IA
Rs probably win: TX, KS, SC, AK

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Sullivan doesn't have the race in the bag, AK officials say VBM ballots can take all made mnth long to count, D's need four seats to win the Prez due to Pence will vote against Biden as the Prez, when he certified the winner on Jan 3rd. D's don't know how devious Pence is

Bullock will win too, it's tied race and Daines doesn't hit 50 in recent
polls like Tester did and neither does Gianforte

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Optimistic: GA, MI, TX (more so than before)
Pessimistic: IA, KS, MT, NC

Not sure about ME.

Still don't believe in waves do you

[Podgy the Bear]

I am hopeful about MT.  Bullock could potentially pull it out--has been a popular governor.  Also, they have not nationalized the Senate races the way it was done in 2018.

Optimistic about GA special.  Warnock has run a remarkable race and has made strong appeals to the independent vote.  And the loser of the Collins-Loeffler battle will find it very difficult to come around for the runoff.

[Samof94]

Alabama is a lost cause.

[hyouzel the predictor]

More Optimistic: ME, MT, SC, GA, IA
More Pessimistic: KS, TX, GA-S, NC, AK

[MillennialModerate]

Optimistic - Arizona, Colorado, Michigan
Could go either way - Iowa/Montana
Pessimistic - North Carolina, Maine, Kansas
Absolutely Not Happening - Georgia,

I’ll ban myself for a month and Venmo someone $50 on election night if it goes the Democrats way: Georgia Special, South Carolina, Kentucky

I’m optimistic about Iowa, Maine, & Montana. Most pessimistic about the GA races as I think Ossoff getting to 50% is more likely than people think.

Well, the Republicans outperformed expectations in all three, so I think I was right to be optimistic about our chances. Perdue and Loeffler did "meh" considering the national environment.
