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 Utah in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 2, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirteen candidates filed to run for Utah’s four U.S. House districts, including four Democrats and nine Republicans. That’s 3.25 candidates per district, less than the 3.75 candidates per district in 2020 and more than the 2.5 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Utah was apportioned four districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. All four incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open seats this year. That was one fewer than in 2020, when there was one open seat.
All four incumbents faced primary challengers, the highest number since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data. Utah’s four incumbent congressmen were Republicans, meaning there were four contested Republican primaries this year. There were no contested Democratic primaries. The four contested primaries this year were the most since 2014, when six primaries were contested.
Four candidates, including incumbent Rep. Blake Moore (R), filed to run in the 1st district. That was the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all four 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.
