Survey results

Population: Likely voters (AFWH house estimate). The AFWH house estimate: the average of the anchored recipes that entered this read (recalled-vote recipe, recalled-vote recipe plus turnout groups, recalled vote among verified 2024 voters and recalled vote among verified 2024 voters plus turnout groups), each on our likely-voter model's turnout step, raked to the poll's electorate targets and to the certified 2024 presidential result through recalled 2024 vote and the Census college share of the geography's registered citizens.

Weighted responses. Undecided answers are shown separately. A lead is called only when it is larger than the sampling margin widened by a 90% total-error band; otherwise it is within error.

Population
Likely voters (AFWH house estimate) in the declared poll frame (KS); weighted to the 2026-11-03 general electorate its pre-registered turnout verdict (record 10, arm C2′) sets: age from the turnout model's predicted 2026 electorate, trained only on elections since 2016, the other dimensions from the last comparable electorate; pre-registration 8293c1a3, harness 934d2e13, content 022317114ac6. Race is weighted to the likely electorate's composition by each voter's recorded race, else its verified surname-and-geography estimate, in place of the 2022 base's recorded-race shares the verdict carries. The AFWH house estimate: the average of the anchored recipes that entered this read (recalled-vote recipe, recalled-vote recipe plus turnout groups, recalled vote among verified 2024 voters and recalled vote among verified 2024 voters plus turnout groups), each on our likely-voter model's turnout step, raked to the poll's electorate targets and to the certified 2024 presidential result through recalled 2024 vote and the Census college share of the geography's registered citizens.

Limitations

  • The margin of error (4.6 points at 95% confidence, including the design effect) describes sampling error for a result near 50% among all respondents. Results for subgroups carry larger margins, and question wording, coverage and nonresponse can also affect results. The margin of error on the gap between two candidates is roughly twice the poll's margin of error; each race's own figure is given in the fine print with its result.
  • The sponsor is a political committee (a super PAC). Readers should weigh results with that sponsorship in mind.
  • Respondents could be reached only through a telephone number matched to their voter record; voters without a usable number were outside the sample frame.
  • Respondents answered online; people unable or unwilling to complete a web survey are represented only through weighting.
  • 30 respondent(s) had no recorded age group and were not adjusted on that variable.
  • 68 respondent(s) had no recorded race and ethnicity (voter-file model) and were not adjusted on that variable.
  • 5 estimate(s) rest on fewer than 50 respondents and are not shown.
  • 4 estimate(s) rest on 50 to 99 respondents and are shown marked “interpret with caution.”

Sponsored by A Fight Worth Having (super PAC, FEC C00933085); conducted by RedBox Research, AFWH's polling unit. Population: Likely voters (AFWH house estimate) in the declared poll frame (KS); weighted to the 2026-11-03 general electorate its pre-registered turnout verdict (record 10, arm C2′) sets: age from the turnout model's predicted 2026 electorate, trained only on elections since 2016, the other dimensions from the last comparable electorate; pre-registration 8293c1a3, harness 934d2e13, content 022317114ac6. Race is weighted to the likely electorate's composition by each voter's recorded race, else its verified surname-and-geography estimate, in place of the 2022 base's recorded-race shares the verdict carries. The AFWH house estimate: the average of the anchored recipes that entered this read (recalled-vote recipe, recalled-vote recipe plus turnout groups, recalled vote among verified 2024 voters and recalled vote among verified 2024 voters plus turnout groups), each on our likely-voter model's turnout step, raked to the poll's electorate targets and to the certified 2024 presidential result through recalled 2024 vote and the Census college share of the geography's registered citizens. (KS). Likely-voter rule: No question screened respondents out of the interview. Each respondent's voter-file turnout score was updated by their answer to the vote-intention question (Q14), with an odds ratio of 2.42 between the lowest and highest answers. Respondents who said they had already voted (Q1) counted as certain to vote; a missing answer kept the file score; anyone else whose file score was zero got no weight. Each respondent's weight was multiplied by the updated score before raking to the targets. Our likely-voter model was set in advance; in backtests it did not clear its pre-registered accuracy bar, so we describe it as unvalidated. Sample frame: 1,727,284 voter-file records in universe "KS 2026 general" (State: KS; Office: senate; Turnout model: AFWH's Kansas turnout model, trained on the 2022 general election); random draw of 1,187; 97,888 sent a text invitation. Modes: Text message invitation to a self-administered web survey. Languages: English. Interviews completed October 20, 2026 to October 23, 2026. n = 1,301 completed interviews; 97,888 sampled voters were sent a text invitation; margin of error ±4.6 percentage points at 95% confidence including a design effect of 2.9. Effective sample size 449; the largest weight is 366.4 times the smallest. Weighting: the house rule's weighted average of two anchored families of raking recipes to party registration (Democratic 29.1%, Libertarian 0.7%, no party 15.4%, other parties 0.0%, Republican 54.7%); gender (women 52.7%, men 47.2%, gender not recorded 0.0%); age group (18-29 7.7%, 30-44 18.6%, 45-54 15.1%, 55-64 18.7%, 65+ 39.9%); 2024 presidential vote (recalled) (Harris 37.2%, did not vote or voted for someone else 10.9%, Trump 51.8%); congressional district (KS-01 23.8%, KS-02 23.3%, KS-03 30.1%, KS-04 22.8%); education (four-year college degree) (college degree 39.2%, no college degree 59.2%, not recorded 1.6%); race and ethnicity (voter-file model) (Asian or Pacific Islander 1.5%, Black 5.1%, Hispanic 5.3%, other races 2.7%, White 85.4%), from the 2026 electorate targets of the state's 2026 turnout verdict, set in advance; base weights are the inverse of each sampled voter's recorded selection probability within the stratified draw. Estimate: Each respondent's weight combines two families of weighting recipes anchored to the 2024 presidential vote: one to the certified result, one to the 2024 vote of respondents the voter file shows voted, each named candidate held to its certified share. Within a family, the recipes that pass the partisan checks are averaged, each recipe's weights scaled to a mean of 1 first. Each family counts in proportion to how often its average fits voter-file facts no recipe weights to best (2020 and 2022 turnout, registration year and county, and where the state's file of returned ballots is held, the early vote by party) over 500 resamples of respondents: certified 2024 recall (2 recipes), 4.6%; corrected 2024 recall of file-validated 2024 voters (2 recipes), 95.4%. Each recipe is bounded raking on the likely voters with its final weights trimmed at their 1st and 99th percentiles; recipes off the electorate's party mix by more than 3 points or the certified 2024 result by more than 5 were left out. Recipes without a 2024 vote anchor were computed as sensitivities only. A question asked of a random part of the sample is read on the same weights of the respondents who answered it Weight trimming: Each respondent's design weight was kept and raked to the targets with no bound on the weighting adjustment; 0 of 1,301 respondents' weights were trimmed. Processing: completed interviews only; partial interviews are excluded. Quality checks flagged 679 people who opened the survey and stopped before completing it, 782 duplicate submissions, 3 speeder. 258 estimate(s) reported, 5 withheld under the reporting rules. Limitations: The margin of error (4.6 points at 95% confidence, including the design effect) describes sampling error for a result near 50% among all respondents. Results for subgroups carry larger margins, and question wording, coverage and nonresponse can also affect results. The margin of error on the gap between two candidates is roughly twice the poll's margin of error; each race's own figure is given in the fine print with its result. The sponsor is a political committee (a super PAC). Readers should weigh results with that sponsorship in mind. Respondents could be reached only through a telephone number matched to their voter record; voters without a usable number were outside the sample frame. Respondents answered online; people unable or unwilling to complete a web survey are represented only through weighting. 30 respondent(s) had no recorded age group and were not adjusted on that variable. 68 respondent(s) had no recorded race and ethnicity (voter-file model) and were not adjusted on that variable. 5 estimate(s) rest on fewer than 50 respondents and are not shown. 4 estimate(s) rest on 50 to 99 respondents and are shown marked “interpret with caution.” Questions, as written (KS 2026 general, version 1): 1.

Weighting appendix: trimming and the shadow estimate

Weight trimming

Bounds: none: each respondent keeps their design weight and the weighting adjustment is not bounded.

Weights trimmed: 0 (strategy: each recipe trimmed before the house rule's average).

Design effect before trimming: not recorded.

Design effect after trimming: 2.900.

Data-defect shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.ddc.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Expected electorate (N): 924,048, from the frozen turnout projection.

U.S. Senate: Adam Hamilton, Democrat minus Roger Marshall, Republican among decided respondents (n=1246): headline basis -3.0, shadow arm -4.0 (correlation -0.000382, the state's 2020 value, shrunk toward the pooled value).

Governor: Cindy Holscher, Democrat minus Ty Masterson, Republican among decided respondents (n=1238): headline basis -3.6, shadow arm -4.6 (correlation -0.000382, the state's 2020 value, shrunk toward the pooled value).

Assumption: The correlation was measured on CES, an opt-in online panel, under our weighting recipe. Our voter-file estimator has no general-election history, so carrying CES's correlation over is an assumption.

Assumption: There is no midterm correlation source. The 2020 presidential correlation is applied to 2026 midterm contests.

Assumption: The correction produces no weights, so it has no design effect of its own. Its uncertainty is not estimated here.

A + recall shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.a-plus-recall.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Recalled 2024 vote: 1301 respondents answered; Harris:Trump set to the certified 2024 ratio in KS (41.8% Harris of the two-party vote).

U.S. Senate: Adam Hamilton, Democrat minus Roger Marshall, Republican among decided respondents (n=1246): headline basis -3.0, A + recall +2.8 (shift +5.8).

Governor: Cindy Holscher, Democrat minus Ty Masterson, Republican among decided respondents (n=1238): headline basis -3.6, A + recall +3.5 (shift +7.1).

A + education shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.a-plus-education.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Weighted college share 39.8% (n=1275) vs CPS November 2024 registered citizens in KS 39.8% (SE 2.9): gap +0.0 points; the arm computes only beyond 5.

Status: not triggered. the weighted college share 39.8% is within 5 points of the CPS registered-citizen share 39.8% in KS (gap +0.0)

A + post-ballot partials shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.a-plus-partials.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Post-ballot partials: 0 of 1301 completes (0.0%); breakoff gap by file party: 0.0 points. The arm computes only above 10% or 3 points.

Status: not triggered. post-ballot partials are 0.0% of completes (rule: above 10%) and the breakoff gap by file party is 0.0 points (rule: above 3)

LV fitted shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.lv-fitted.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Status: awaiting validation. 1301 of 1301 respondents carry a draw-time file score; 0-9 intention groups: 9 1188, 0-4 27, 5-6 17, 7-8 65, no answer 4.

Coefficients are fitted after the election on these respondents matched to the post-election voter file, by the frozen rule (inputs sha256 8d931badfa38).

Per-state likely voters check (pollster.check.plv-state.v1; the headline recipe with the national and the state's own intention ratio side by side)

KS: own ratio 3.23 against the national 2.42; back-test: did not beat the national ratio.

U.S. Senate: Adam Hamilton, Democrat minus Roger Marshall, Republican among decided respondents (n=1246): headline basis +9.9, Per-state likely voters +9.6 (shift -0.3).

Governor: Cindy Holscher, Democrat minus Ty Masterson, Republican among decided respondents (n=1238): headline basis +10.2, Per-state likely voters +10.0 (shift -0.3).

A + covariate undecided allocation shadow arm (pollster.shadow-arm.undecided-covariate.v1; a pre-registered shadow estimate, not the headline)

Undecided respondents (after leaners are pushed) are allocated by a model fitted on decided respondents: file party, recalled 2024 vote, presidential approval and county 2024 lean.

U.S. Senate: Adam Hamilton, Democrat minus Roger Marshall, Republican, 3.1% undecided (n=37): undecideds dropped -3.7, allocated -3.4 (shift +0.3; model gives 46% of undecideds to Roger Marshall, Republican).

Governor: Cindy Holscher, Democrat minus Ty Masterson, Republican, 2.8% undecided (n=46): undecideds dropped -3.9, allocated -3.2 (shift +0.7; model gives 39% of undecideds to Ty Masterson, Republican).

Assumption: the undecided-allocation model measured CES 'Not Sure' respondents, who were never asked a leaner question; here the model allocates the smaller undecided-after-leaner group.

Assumption: The model is fitted on decided respondents; CES showed undecideds within a party, recall or approval cell are less partisan than decided ones, which the pooled allocation absorbed on the replay frame.

Assumption: CES is an opt-in panel; the replay tests the allocation rule, not voter-file sampling.

Turnout level scenarios (carried beside the estimates; not the headline, no weight changes)

Production level: 53.5% of 1,727,295 active registrants, 923,695 ballots.

Basis-matched level: 62.2% of 1,727,295 active registrants, 1,074,668 ballots.

KS file: 2,009,612 on the roll, 1,727,295 active; AFWH's Kansas turnout model, trained on the 2022 general election (version 5). Both are scored against the certified total ballots cast after the election.

AAPOR disclosure: further items
Data collection strategy (AAPOR A1)
A survey of KS likely voters for the November 3, 2026 general election. Collection: Text message invitation to a self-administered web survey.
Who collected the interviews (AAPOR A2)
RedBox Research, AFWH's polling unit, drew the sample and collected the interviews itself; no outside fieldwork vendor collected interviews.
Wording shown or read before the questions (AAPOR A3)

Invitation text (wave 1), 89,170 sent: "Hi {first_name}, RedBox Research is surveying {community} voters ({survey_minutes} MIN): {survey_url} Reply STOP to end, HELP for help."

Invitation text (wave 1), 8,718 sent: "Hi {first_name}, RedBox Research: what do {community} voters think? {survey_minutes}-min poll, see results: {survey_url} Reply STOP to end, HELP for help."

Words in braces were filled in for each recipient when the text was sent.

Welcome screen before question 1: "Thanks for coming, {first_name|and welcome}." "We need {minutes} minutes of your time." (button: "Start survey").

The survey was self-administered on the web: there was no interviewer or AI script.

Likely voters (AAPOR A4)
No question screened respondents out of the interview. Each respondent's voter-file turnout score was updated by their answer to the vote-intention question (Q14), with an odds ratio of 2.42 between the lowest and highest answers. Respondents who said they had already voted (Q1) counted as certain to vote; a missing answer kept the file score; anyone else whose file score was zero got no weight. Each respondent's weight was multiplied by the updated score before raking to the targets.
Sample type (AAPOR A5a)
A probability sample: every voter was drawn at random, with a recorded seed, from the voter-file universe named in the disclosure. No response was generated by AI (no synthetic respondents were used).
Sample frame and its date (AAPOR A5b)
Voters were drawn from the AFWH voter file, built from the Kansas official state voter registration file dated July 6, 2026 (received July 25, 2026), for 260,627 drawn voters. Telephone numbers: of the 97,888 voters sent an invitation or called, 44,976 at a number on the official voter file; 31,586 at a number both the official voter file and L2 held; 21,326 at numbers L2 appended to the voter record (order 132877).
Coverage (AAPOR A5c)
97,888 of the 260,627 drawn voters (37.6%) had a textable number and were sent an invitation; the other 162,739 could not be reached by text and are counted as not attempted (AAPOR 3.23).
Quotas (AAPOR A5e)
Sample draws were sized to 4,361 target cells. No interview was stopped or screened out because a cell was full (no case carries a quota-full or screen-out disposition).
Incentives and contact (AAPOR A5i)
No incentive is recorded for this poll, and Pollster has no step that pays or promises one; the wording of the texts sent is under A3. Contact: a single invitation text; no reminders were sent.
Modes (AAPOR A6)
Text message invitation to a self-administered web survey. Language: English.
Interviews by frame and mode (AAPOR A8a)
Completed interviews by frame: KS 2026 general 1,301. By mode: web 1,301.
Margin of error (AAPOR A8c)
The margin of error is shown because the sample was drawn at random; with a low response rate it holds only as far as weighting corrects nonresponse.
Quality checks (AAPOR A10)
Each invited voter received a unique survey link; a link yields at most one interview. Quality flags recorded: 782 duplicate submissions, 3 speeder. Flags are measured, not used to drop cases: all 1,301 interviews completed by the status date are in the weighted estimates.
Total error (AAPOR A11)
The margins of error describe sampling error with the design effect; they are not widened for other sources of error. The margin of error on the gap between two candidates is roughly twice the poll's margin of error; each race's own figure is given in the fine print with its result.
AI use (AAPOR A12)
(a) Task performed by AI: none in data collection; no AI interviewer or chatbot was used (Text message invitation to a self-administered web survey). AI in processing: No language model coded, weighted or wrote any published result; every published number and sentence is produced by deterministic code from the recorded responses. (b) Human oversight or validation: not applicable; no AI output enters the data or the published results.
Panel (AAPOR B1)
No panel: respondents were drawn fresh from the voter file for this poll.
Dispositions (AAPOR B5)

Standard: AAPOR Standard Definitions, 10th edition (2023), list samples: section 1.3 (phone surveys of named persons) and section 1.6 (SMS surveys of named persons).

Final dispositions of the 260,627 drawn cases:

1.1 Complete interview: 1,301

2.1133 Replied STOP to the invitation: 6,850

2.12 Break-off: started the survey (web link or phone) and stopped before completing it: 679

3.20 Invitation delivered, no response: 86,269

3.219 Invitation not delivered: 2,286

3.23 Not attempted: no invitation sent and no call dialed: 162,739

3.9 Invitation sent, no delivery status returned: 503

Outcome rates: RR1 0.5%; RR3 0.5%; COOP1 14.7%; REF1 2.9%; CON1 3.4%.

97,888 text invitations sent, 0 calls dialed.

Text message to the web survey: 97,888 cases attempted. RR1 1.3%; RR3 1.3%; COOP1 14.7%; REF1 7.7%; CON1 9.0%.

Each mode counts only the people it tried to reach and only the interviews completed in that mode: a voter texted who then finished by phone is a text non-complete and a phone complete. Each mode's RR3 uses the release's e.

Each voter's final disposition is the most informative outcome across every text and call (AAPOR Standard Definitions, 10th edition, pp. 9 and 13): a complete in either mode, then a screen-out, then a refusal or break-off, then the most informative unreached outcome.

e = 1.0000: proportional allocation (the default of AAPOR Survey Outcome Rate Calculator 5.1 (2023), List Samples sheet) over the 8,830 cases whose eligibility was settled by contact (8,830 eligible, 0 screened out). Duplicate listings are left out because the frame check removed them from every drawn case. The questionnaire has no eligibility screener, and the Standard Definitions treat an unreached named-list case as eligible when none is required.

How leads are called

Total-error band for this release: midterm general. AAPOR state presidential MAE 5.1 (2016, 2020); AAPOR 2018 state polls 4.64; primaries 9 (Silver). sd = MAE*sqrt(pi/2).
