Election Outlook: 2014 Race Ratings
This continually updated page contains Daily Kos Elections' current competitiveness ratings for all 2014 Senate, gubernatorial, and House elections.
Jump to: Senate Ratings | Gubernatorial Ratings | House Ratings | Definitions
Democrats currently control 55 seats in the Senate, including two independents who caucus with the Democrats. Republicans control 45 seats. In total, 36 seats are up for election in 2014.
Past ratings changes
In total, 36 governorships are up for election in 2014, 14 held by Democrats and 22 by Republicans.
Past ratings changes
All seats not listed above are considered "safe" for the party that currently holds them, except for the Democratic-held open seat in NC-07, which is rated Safe Republican.
We have also rated seats where we expect two members of the same party to face off in the November general elections. Note: "(i)" indicates an incumbent.
Past ratings changes
Safe: Barring unforeseeable developments, one party is certain to win.
Race to Watch: A foreseeable but as-yet unrealized development has the chance to make an otherwise "Safe" race potentially competitive (such as an incumbent retirement), or an incumbent faces a potentially competitive primary.
Likely: One party has a strong advantage and is likely to win, though the race has the potential to become more competitive.
Lean: One party has an identifiable advantage, but an upset victory is possible for the other party.
Tossup: Both (or all) parties have a strong (though not necessarily perfectly equal) chance of winning. Blue-shaded races tilt Democratic and red-shaded races tilt Republican, indicating a slight advantage for the indicated party.
