States by difficulty level

Maybe someone can point out how easy/difficult it is to win each state in an election for the Republicans and Democrats.

[Politician]

Green: Tossup state
30%: Competitive but favors in-party
50%: Winnable for out-party but it's an uphill climb
70%: Winnable for out-party only at statewide level and under specific conditions
90%: Completely unwinnable for out-party

[Progressive Pessimist]

Green: Tossup state
30%: Competitive but favors in-party
50%: Winnable for out-party but it's an uphill climb
70%: Winnable for out-party only at statewide level and under specific conditions
90%: Completely unwinnable for out-party

That looks fairly comparable to a 2020 ratings map. Florida isn't blue enough, by the way. Otherwise it looks about right to me.

It totally fits the 30% shade; "Competitive but favors in-party"

I would have Iowa a darker shade at least until I see more polls from there. Maybe it will switch with Florida a year from now as more information becomes apparent later in the cycle.

I'm talking about "easy", "medium", "hard", "very hard".
