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.
Michigan's House races are being re-verified and are not shown yet.

How a cell is encoded, and on what evidence
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, sourced from The Downballot, and carry no band, because a baseline is a measured past result and never a rating.

Michigan at a glance
1 of 1 Michigan seat is rated Toss-Up, Tilt or Lean.
1 seat on the 2026 ballot: the governor. Ratings added October 1, 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).
- Favor D 1
- Toss-Up 0
- Favor R 0
- Not rated 0
In play: 1 leaning D.
Lean against the nation
No statewide 2024 baseline is on record for Michigan, because neither a Senate nor a governor race here carries one yet.
House delegation, projected
This state has no House seats in the tracked inventory.
The current party split of the delegation is not shown: seat-holder party is not yet a sourced field in our data.

Michigan: 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.

One gold ramp; stronger gold means a higher value. Classes are quintiles of the 83 counties with a value in Michigan. The ramp is not a party colour and does not mean better or worse.

Per-capita personal income · BEA CAINC1, 2024
- Not yet available (83 of 83)
No county in Michigan 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.
Michigan has 83 counties. 83 have at least one indicator available; a county with no value for an indicator is hatched and marked "Not yet available", never estimated.
