Idaho has voted Republican for governor since 1994 (32 years). Democrats have not won a gubernatorial race since Cecil Andrus in 1990. The state is becoming increasingly Republican; Little won 60.5% in 2022. While Little faces a conservative primary challenge from the right, the general election is heavily favored Republican in this Solid R state.

Likely R★ Flip Potential
Natalie FlemingIvsDavid RothDvsTodd AchillesI41%vsJim RischR38%
📊 Achilles leads Risch 41-38 in March 2026 Public Policy Polling; earlier polling shows Risch with significant leads over Democratic opponents— Public Policy Polling, 2026-03-17
This race has potential to shift Senate control if Todd Achilles (Independent) gains traction, similar to Nebraska 2024. However, Idaho's Republican dominance since 1981 and Risch's strong fundraising advantage make Democratic takeover unlikely.
