1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNew York Times and Siena polls of likely voters show Democrats leading or tied in seven battleground governor's races.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSeven races, and the Democrats are ahead or even in every one. Where are the big leads?

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMichigan, where Jocelyn Benson leads John James fifty-two to thirty-nine. In Iowa, Rob Sand is at fifty-one and Zach Lahn at forty-three.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Maine, Hannah Pingree is at forty-nine, Bobby Charles thirty-seven.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the tight ones? I hear Texas is a photo finish.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGina Hinojosa is at forty-eight and Greg Abbott at forty-seven.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Kansas, Cindy Holscher leads Ty Masterson forty-eight to forty-seven, in a state Trump carried by sixteen points in twenty twenty-four.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOne point. In Kansas. Does anybody in Texas get a recount for a one-point lead in a poll?

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA poll is not a count, Chip. It is a forecast with a margin of error, and a one-point lead sits comfortably inside the margin.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo who actually gets the lead in a tie?

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNate Silver wrote that the release put Democrats ahead in basically every Senate battleground and associated governor's race, though he flagged Nebraska, where Republican Pete Ricketts is up six.

12. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLove it. Love all of it.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSeven states polled, and one of them is a poor poll for Democrats. Nebraska apparently read the room and stayed home.
