Molly Gray holds a commanding lead in the Vermont lieutenant governor race, driven by her August Democratic primary victory consolidating support and recent polls showing her ahead of Republican incumbent John Rodgers by double digits among likely voters. As a former officeholder emphasizing affordability measures on health care, housing, and property taxes, Gray benefits from Vermont's Democratic-leaning electorate and the lieutenant governor's tie-breaking and committee roles. Traders price her at 92 percent, reflecting this positioning weeks before the November 3 general election. Rodgers, who switched parties before winning in 2024, stresses constituent service and rural priorities but trails in surveys. Shifts could occur from high undecided turnout, late campaign developments, or differential mobilization in key regions.
