Latest published ratings for competitive seats
Several sites and individuals publish ratings of competitive seats. The seats listed below were considered competitive (not "safe" or "solid") by at least one of the rating groups. These ratings are based upon factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan history of the district (the Cook Partisan Voting Index is one example of this metric). Each rating describes the likelihood of a given outcome in the election.

Most election ratings use:


 * "tossup": no advantage
 * "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
 * "lean": slight advantage
 * "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
 * "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

The following are the latest published ratings for competitive seats.
