Abstract

Vermont Governor Phil Scott's job approval has fallen to its lowest point since at least April 2022, but much of this decline is due to falling approval among his fellow Republicans. Scott is seeking a sixth term as governor and holds early leads over prospective Democratic challengers Amanda Janoo and Aly Richards, who are largely unknown to likely Democratic primary voters. Former Lieutenant Governor Molly Gray leads the Democratic field to take on incumbent Republican John Rodgers and Gray leads Rodgers in a prospective general election matchup. Gerald Malloy leads fellow Republican Mark Coester in the race to challenge incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Becca Balint in Vermont's congressional district, but both Malloy and Coester trail Balint in general election matchups.
