General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Missouri in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 21, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-nine candidates filed to run for Missouri's eight U.S. House districts, including 22 Democrats and 37 Republicans. That's 7.37 candidates per district, more than the five candidates per district in 2020 and the 4.87 in 2018. This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Missouri was apportioned eight districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.
The 59 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Missouri's U.S. House seats since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
Two districts — the 4th and the 7th — were open. Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R), who represented the 4th district, and Rep. Billy Long (R), who represented the 7th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. The two open seats this year were the first U.S. House seats to open up in the state since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data. Eleven candidates — three Democrats and eight Republicans — ran to replace Long, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year..
There were six contested Democratic primaries, the most since at least 2014, and eight contested Republican primaries, the most since 2016, when there were also eight contested Republican primaries. All six incumbents who ran for re-election faced primary challengers, the same number as in 2020 and one more than in 2018. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.
