The Kansas Senate race is the state's headline race, rated Toss-Up by Cook Political Report.
Every seat in the delegation below, in district order. A colored band across the top of a cell means a rater has made a claim about that race. A cell with no band is a settled seat, tinted by its 2024 presidential margin, which is a measured past result and not a 2026 forecast.
All 4 Kansas House seats carry a rating.
Each rating word is the seat's displayed rating, taken from Cook Political Report for 4 districts. Open a district for every rater and date.

Ratings drawn from Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball , added October 18, 2026. For the most current Cook Political Report ratings and analysis, see cookpolitical.com. Settled seats are tinted by their 2024 presidential-vote baseline as of October 3, 2026, sourced from The Downballot, and carry no band, because a baseline is a measured past result and never a rating. Fundraising figures from FEC filings, as of July 19, 2026.

Kansas at a glance
2 of 6 Kansas seats are rated Toss-Up, Tilt or Lean.
6 seats on the 2026 ballot: 1 Senate, the governor, 4 House seats. Ratings added October 17, 2026. A seat counts by the first rater with a live rating ( Cook Political Report , then Sabato’s Crystal Ball, then Split Ticket, then FiftyPlusOne).

- Toss-Up 1
- Favor R 4
- Not rated 0
In play: 1 Toss-Up, 1 leaning R.
Lean against the nation
In 2024 this state voted 14.6 points more Republican than the nation. Measured: FEC 2024 presidential results, difference from the national margin.
Of 4 House districts with a baseline, 1 voted more Democratic than the nation in 2024 and 3 more Republican.
House delegation, projected
Our model expects Democrats to win about 1 of 4 House seats here (run of October 18, 2026). Expected value across district win probabilities, not a call on any one seat.
The current party split of the delegation is not shown: seat-holder party is not yet a sourced field in our data.

Kansas: five economic indicators, county by county
Pick an indicator to shade the map. Each indicator gets its own gold ramp, scaled to this state's counties, with stronger gold for a higher value. A hatched county has no reading available yet; it is never estimated.

- Not yet available (105 of 105)
No county in Kansas has a reading for this indicator yet, so there is no ramp to show. The ramp, once it has data, is one gold hue: not a party colour, and not a verdict of better or worse.
Kansas has 105 counties. 105 have at least one indicator available; a county with no value for an indicator is hatched and marked "Not yet available", never estimated.
