Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, September 25, 2026 —
A recent poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center suggests a closely contested race for Vermont Governor, with Democrat Amanda Janoo holding a slim lead over incumbent Republican Governor Phil Scott. The survey results indicate Janoo garnered 49% of support among likely voters polled, while Scott received 43%.
The poll’s findings place the race within its margin of error, which is reported as 3.4 percentage points. This means the slight lead Janoo holds is not statistically significant enough to declare a definitive advantage, suggesting the outcome remains uncertain.
The University of New Hampshire Survey Center conducted the poll to gauge public opinion on the upcoming gubernatorial election. The figures released do not include additional details regarding voter demographics, undecided voters, or specific timelines beyond the poll’s release.
As the race continues, the reported percentages suggest that both campaigns will likely focus on mobilizing their supporters and appealing to undecided voters. The margin of error highlights the competitive nature of the current political landscape in Vermont.
