About this snapshot

Written by anthropic:claude-sonnet-5, checked by openai:gpt-5.5(the checking model did not run).

Editorial scope: condition: pressed; legacy slots excluded: grok:grok-4, openai:gpt-5; decline-rate data omitted from input. Headlines focus on what voters get when they ask ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / Grok 'who should I vote for'. Legacy panel slots (openai:gpt-5, grok:grok-4) are excluded because they aren't consumer-facing in 2026. Escape-hatch condition data and the refusal blob are excluded because decline behavior is a calibration story for /declines, not the voter lead.

Michigan U.S. Senate Race 2026
Betting markets tilt further toward El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race as chatbots stay split
Betting markets moved today in Michigan's U.S. Senate race, giving Democrat Abdul El-Sayed a 68.5 percent chance of winning, up 3 points, while Republican Mike Rogers slipped to a 31.5 percent chance. Chatbots remain split, picking El-Sayed about 42.7 percent of the time against 41.2 percent for Rogers, not a significant change. Recent polling from Marist, Rasmussen Reports and Quantus Insights has the two nearly tied, with El-Sayed at 48.1 percent and Rogers at 46.4 percent of the vote. One of Grok's models, Grok 4.3, continues to favor Rogers well above the rest of the panel.

Maine U.S. Senate Race 2026
Maine betting markets move further toward Jackson as chatbots stay split in the Senate race
Betting markets shifted toward Democrat Troy Jackson today, now giving him a 61.5 percent chance to win Maine's Senate race, up from recent days as incumbent Susan Collins slipped in that lens. Chatbots remain split, with no clear favorite, and one ChatGPT model stands out by favoring Collins. Polls, last updated four days ago, show a tight race, with Jackson at 48.3 percent and Collins at 47.6 percent. The gap between what chatbots say and what the markets now expect has widened, seven days before the general election.

Iowa's Senate race holds with chatbots split as betting markets back Hinson
Nothing moved beyond its normal daily range in Iowa's U.S. Senate race. Chatbots show no clear favorite between Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek, while betting markets give Hinson about a 58 percent chance and Turek about 42 percent. One Gemini model leans toward Turek by a wider margin than the rest of the panel.

Alaska U.S. Senate Race 2026
Alaska's Senate race holds steady, chatbots for Sullivan, betting markets and polls for Peltola
Nothing moved beyond its normal range in Alaska's U.S. Senate race, seven days before the November 3 election. Chatbots pick incumbent Sullivan (R) about 46 percent of the time, while betting markets give Democrat Mary Peltola a 74 percent chance of winning and recent polling puts her at 46 percent of the vote to Sullivan's 43 percent. This is the same split that has held for over a week. The August primary, now history for the general-election matchup, saw Peltola lead with 49.5 percent to Sullivan's 41.4 percent, but that contest eliminated twelve minor candidates on low turnout and is not a guide to what happens next week.
