Molly Gray holds a commanding lead in trader consensus for the Vermont lieutenant governor race due to her 60.8% win in the August Democratic primary and recent polls showing her ahead of Republican incumbent John Rodgers by margins of 8 to 27 points among likely voters. Both candidates bring prior experience in the office—Gray from 2021–2023 and Rodgers since 2025 after switching from the Democratic Party—while emphasizing affordability, rural issues, and constituent services ahead of the November 3 general election. Vermont’s political environment and Gray’s name recognition contribute to the wide implied probability gap, though outcomes could shift with turnout patterns, alignment with the concurrent gubernatorial contest, or late developments in the final weeks.
