How

    4,062 voters who split their ticket in recent elections and lean Hageman today.
  • Mobilize +168
    At least 3,068 people who voted in 2024 but not in 2022, in counties where Byrd's side wins at least 55 percent.
  • Consolidate +740
    Voters who went third party in recent races, in the counties that lean Byrd's way.

Plus a 49.4-point national shift (97,869 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true

  1. Byrd wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters now leaning Hageman.
  2. In Teton County, 35 percent of the people who voted in 2024 but skipped 2022 come back and vote.
  3. The national environment moves about 49.4 points toward Byrd's side between now and November 3.
  4. No 2026 public poll exists for this race, so the starting line is a weighted blend of official recent results; the first real poll will move it.
