Presidential race: Hillary Clinton (D) vs. Donald Trump (R)

New York has 29 electoral votes in the general election. For 160 years, the state was the biggest electoral prize in the nation. Then California overtook it in electoral votes in the 1972 election. In 2004, Texas also surpassed New York. By the 2024 election, Florida is likely to push New York into 4th place. Since 1988, though, there's been one constant: The state has been a Democratic stronghold at the presidential level.

Rating: Safe D

Senate race: Sen. Charles Schumer (D) vs. Wendy Long (R)

Schumer won his third term in 2010 by a 66-32 margin. In a presidential year in this blue state, he’ll win by a similar margin. The only question is: Will Schumer be returning to Capitol Hill as majority or minority leader?

Rating: Safe D

House races to watch

NY-01 (Eastern Long Island): Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) vs. Anne Throne-Holst (D)

Zeldin might be a tad too conservative for a district this competitive. But Democrats had a bruising primary, Zeldin has proven to be a strong fundraiser, Trump is running well in this Eastern Long Island-based seat and late October polling suggests he’s winning comfortably.

Rating: Likely R

NY-03 (North Shore Long Island): Tom Suozzi (D) vs. Jack Martins (R)

Suozzi has high name recognition as an ambitious former county executive, but he’s lost his last three elections and carries much baggage from his days running the Nassau County. Even so, polls show Martins, a GOP state senator, has an uphill climb in this affluent, Democratic-leaning, North Shore-based district.

Rating: Likely D

NY-19 (Northern Hudson Valley): John Faso (R) vs. Zephyr Teachout (D)

Each of the candidates in this Hudson Valley-based district has a losing gubernatorial bid under their belt. Faso, a veteran state legislator, lost in a 2006 landslide; Teachout, a progressive law professor and anti-fracking activist who recently moved to the area from Brooklyn, fell short in a 2014 primary against Andrew Cuomo. Polls suggest a toss-up in what’s become one of the nation’s most expensive House races.

Rating: Toss up

NY-21 (North Country; Watertown): Rep. Elise Stefanik (R) vs. Mike Derrick (D)

Stefanik, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, is outspending Derrick by roughly 2-1. With GOP polling suggesting she has a big lead and Trump holding his own in the largely rural district, Stefanik is well-positioned to win a second term.

Rating: Likely R

NY-22 (Upstate; Utica; Binghamton): Claudia Tenney (R) vs. Kim Myers (D) vs. Martin Babinec (I)

The GOP nominee in this highly competitive district is conservative Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, who nearly knocked off retiring GOP Rep. Richard Hanna in the 2014 primary. She’ll face Kim Myers, the daughter of the Dick's Sporting Goods founder, and wealthy self-funder Martin Babinec, a third party candidate who’s focused on job creation.

Rating: Toss up

NY-23 (Southern Tier): Rep. Tom Reed (R) vs. John Plumb (D)

Democrats have a solid nominee in former Navy submarine officer John Plumb, but in this nominally Republican Upstate seat Plumb must contend with Obama administration drag and polling that shows Hillary Clinton trailing by a considerable margin.

Rating: Likely R

NY-24 (Syracuse): Rep. John Katko (R) vs. Colleen Deacon (D)

Democrats have big edge in this district but Katko managed to win his first term by a big margin in 2014 anyway. He’s run a good campaign and outraised Deacon, a former Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand aide, by roughly 2-1, but he’ll have to contend with top of the ticket headwinds.

Rating: Lean R

NY-25 (Rochester): Rep. Louise Slaughter (D) vs. Mark Assini (R)

Slaughter barely squeaked to re-election in 2014 against Assini. But she’s outspending him by a wide margin and will have the benefit of a presidential year electorate, which is going to be considerably more favorable to her than the mid-term electorate in this Rochester-based district.

Rating: Likely D

State Senate: Democrats are seeking to end Republicans' majority here, which is held together by a coalition of moderate Democratic defectors.
