This prediction is about the 2026 general election for the U.S. House seat of Missouri's 2nd congressional district (MO-02), scheduled for 3 November 2026. The margin is the vote share of the candidate in first place minus the vote share of the candidate in second place, in percentage points. Each share is that candidate's valid votes divided by the total valid votes cast for all candidates in this MO-02 contest; blank and void ballots are left out. If the Republican nominee finishes first, YES is the Republican answer whose range contains the margin; if the Democratic nominee finishes first, YES is the Democratic answer whose range contains the margin. Answers for the party that did not finish first are NO. Republican and Democratic mean the candidates nominated by those two parties; if a party replaces its nominee before election day, the replacement takes over that party's answers. An independent candidate never counts for either party. If a candidate other than these two nominees finishes first, every listed answer is NO. A margin that falls exactly on the line between two ranges belongs to the higher range. Tie for first place: if the Republican and Democratic nominees tie, the one whose surname as printed on the ballot is earlier in the alphabet is treated as first, and YES is that party's lowest answer ("Republican: 0 to under 3 points" or "Democratic: 0 to under 3 points"). If one of these nominees ties for first with any other candidate, that nominee's lowest answer is YES. If only other candidates share first place, every listed answer is NO. Settlement uses the official vote count once it has been certified. If a recount begins before certification, the prediction stays open until the recount is finished and the result is certified. If there is still no definitive result by 30 June 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, every listed answer is NO. At most one listed answer can be YES; all others are NO. The certified official results published by Missouri's state election authority decide; overwhelming agreement among reliable news reports may also be used.
