Competitive Governor Races


Introducing the “Dashboard”, The Hotline’s newest tool to help keep you on top of a very active gubernatorial cycle. Need a quick snapshot of a race? The Dashboard features the latest ads, polling, and rankings for that contest. Need more? Scroll down the page to find every story, poll, and ad in one convenient and easy to navigate place.

Didn’t find your favorite race? For now, we’ve featured the two Governor’s races for 2009 – New Jersey and Virginia – plus the contests in the nation’s eight biggest states. In the future, you’ll be able to find all thirty-seven of the 2010 governor’s races.

Also note, the Hotline Rankings for Governor reflect how those races fit in with just the 10 featured – not the 37 total. Those rankings will be updated as we get further in the cycle.
