Recent polling averages show Democrat Amy Acton leading Republican Vivek Ramaswamy by roughly three to four points among likely voters, though multiple surveys fall within the margin of error and one recent poll gave Ramaswamy a narrow edge. The race has tightened further after Ramaswamy’s late-October ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother drew bipartisan criticism and prompted some forecasters to shift ratings toward Lean Democrat. Both campaigns have spent heavily on taxes, property-tax relief, data-center regulation, and healthcare costs in the final weeks before the November 3 vote for the open seat. Traders therefore price the contest as highly competitive, with the largest probabilities clustered on Acton’s narrowest victory margins.
