The year 2025 is (finally) coming to a close and the 2026 election cycle is heating up, so it’s time to start asking Colorado Pols readers to predict the future!

As always with our totally unscientific reader polls, we want to know what you THINK is going to happen — not what you might prefer or which candidate you may support yourself. If you had to place a sizable wager on the outcome below, where would you put your money?

We’ll update this poll regularly to get a sense for how perceptions are trending; as we’ve seen in every election cycle since we started doing these polls, our readers are pretty good at predicting outcomes in individual races.

Let’s kick things off with the race for Governor, where the winner of the Democratic Primary between Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser will be the heavy favorite to win the General Election in November 2026.
