The Democratic contest has attracted significant attention, but there is no reliable statewide public polling showing a definitive winner immediately before voting.

Fundraising has been one indicator of the race’s competitiveness. Aly Richards has led the field in fundraising, according to WCAX’s pre-primary reporting.

However, fundraising should not be treated as a prediction of the election result. The winner will ultimately be determined by votes cast in the primary.
