General Election 2000 - Contests to Watch
 

This is a state by state digest of offices up for election November 7, 2000. Each office shows the party, candidate, and the incumbent's primary status.

  • Offices marked **WATCH** have close, interesting, or contradictory information being reported by the pollsters.
  • Offices marked **OPEN** indicate that the incumbent (if any) is not a candidate for reelection.
  • Offices without a ** designation are likely to be retained by the incumbent.

Incumbents have the advantage this year. During the primary season, 429 incumbents were RENOMINATED while 2 lost their bid for renomination.

Since 1972, these 8 states have always voted for the winning Presidential Candidate: Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. The polls in these states show a 6 to 2 preference for Bush however the polls are very close in 6 states.

The only poll that matters is the one on November 7th.
