Republicans continue to hold a strong lead over their Democratic opponents in upcoming gubernatorial contests, according to Rasmussen’s gubernatorial scoreboard.

Of 36 total contests, ten are considered to be “strong Republican” while just three — New York, Hawaii and California — are currently considered “strong Democrat.” An undoubtedly encouraging development for Republicans, but one that should nevertheless be tempered by the recognition that many primary contests have not yet been decided, meaning voters are responding based on a generic Republican candidacy.

Republicans also hold an advantage in the lesser categories: there are currently three “likely Republican” races, verses two in the same category for Democrats, and five states “lean Republican” verses four that now “lean Democrat.”

Republicans also enjoy the advantage of incumbency in 26 races, which may explain, at least in part, their strong showing thus far.

Just five states — Nevada, Alaska, Michigan, Ohio and Florida — are now considered pure toss ups, indicating no discernible advantage to either party.

The Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) has consistently outraised its Democratic counterpart, bringing in $26.6 million last quarter, more than double the $13 million Democrats brought in over the same period. That fundraising route continued a longstanding trend that saw the RGA bring in $113 million for the 2018 cycle. The group now has a record-breaking $87.5 million in cash-on-hand, roughly five times the Democratic Governor’s Association’s estimated $18 million.

In another encouraging sign for the GOP, the latest edition of the Morning Consult poll revealed that the top ten most popular sitting governors are all Republicans.
