I agree there's been a lack of polling of individual races in general - 538's quantified that a bit recently, too.

That said, in the absence of polling, I would typically put my money on the person who's won the last 5 times, especially since it's not like they've been close even in not great years for national Dems.

(And the Republicans haven't gone with a candidate that seems very likely to attract moderates).

I would definitely say Kuster is the favorite, but she could be in trouble if there's a landslide, which looks possible. Honestly to some extent Burns' lack of visibility has actually been a good thing for him. I imagine a number of voters might vote for him simply out of dissatisfaction with the incumbent party, knowing little about him personally
