While certain elections are a lock for one party or another, some elections are not. With the first letter of the state, and the ratings of the race, can you name these competitive states in 2022?
This quiz will be updated on the 1st and 15th of every month, if ratings change.
"Competitive" in this quiz means that at least one group considers the race not "Solid" for one party.
Don't know about all the other states, but Pennsylvania is going to be interesting for sure. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is known for his outsized personality and is something of a wildcard (if you haven't heard of him, look him up!). Don't know if he'll win the election, but I predict he'll be the Democratic nominee. It'll definitely be fun to watch!
I think Warnock has his work cut out for him considering Republican turnout in the 2021 special election was way lower than in the general. 2022 is going to be a red year (purely based upon statistics) and if Republicans have the energy factor, they will spare no expense at flipping Georgia.
While Georgia has been trending Democratic for many years, it is arguably still a Republican-leaning state. However, this status is more of a "pink" or "light red", rather than the so-called "ruby-red" of ultra-Republican states like Arkansas or West Virginia.
The non-partisan Cook Political Report pegs Georgia as R+3, which puts it with other current swing states like Arizona and North Carolina, and puts it as slightly more Republican than a state like Wisconsin(which is R+2), and slightly more Democratic than a state like Texas (R+5).
I believe I have another quiz that deals with Cook PVI (Partisan Voting Index) somewhere on my profile. Thanks for your question, I hope my answer suffices.
Arizona: Likely D
Florida: Likely R
Georgia: Lean D
Missouri: Solid R
Nevada: Solid D
New Hampshire: Solid D
North Carolina: Battleground
Ohio: Likely R
Pennsylvania: Likely D
Wisconsin: Lean D
Arizona: Tilt R for Masters, Tossup for anyone else
Florida: Likely R
Georgia: Lean R (assuming Walker runs, which seems to be the case)
Missouri: Safe R (even w/ Greitens)
Nevada: Tossup (the state swung right in 2020)
New Hampshire: Tossup (assuming Sununu)
North Carolina: Likely R (highly inelastic in a R favorable midterm)
Ohio: Safe R for Vance, Likely R for Mandel, Tossup for Timken
Pennsylvania: Tossup
Wisconsin: Lean R
Arizona - Tossup
Florida - Safe R
Georgia - Tilt R
Missouri - Safe R
Nevada - Tilt R
New Hampshire - Tilt D
North Carolina - Likely R
Ohio - Safe R
Pennsylvania - Tilt D
Wisconsin - Likely R
Same with Wisconsin.
Florida is going to be solid Republican with DeSantis on the ticket. He is very popular in Florida.
Georgia could flip back, but I think Warnock may have a mildly easier time around.
Wisconsin all depends on if Ron Johnson decides to run or not, as he has not completely made up his mind yet.
