Incumbent Republican Phil Scott’s long record of electoral success in Democratic-leaning Vermont, including repeated victories by wide margins, anchors trader expectations for his reelection bid on November 3. Amanda Janoo secured the Democratic nomination in the August primary by a narrow margin over Aly Richards, then gained ground in the general election, reaching a statistical tie in the latest University of New Hampshire poll with 49 percent support to Scott’s 43 percent. Scott’s approval rating has fallen to 47 percent amid partisan polarization and affordability concerns, yet his cash-on-hand advantage and name recognition sustain market pricing that heavily favors the incumbent. Upcoming campaign events and turnout patterns in the final weeks could still shift momentum.
