I hope that I provided enough (but not too many) poll options.

Although this is about gubernatorial races most of the options apply to House and Senate races as well.

Daily Kos, 538, Cook, Sabato and Rothenberg.

I only really follow 538 and Sabato since they're free. Cook (especially Wasserman), CNN, Rothenberg, and DKE are fine too. RCP's ratings suck. Idk about Fox News.

Wasserman has been on top of his game this cycle, it stands in contract to the rest to Cook political. So yeah, Cook and Sabato.

538 is the only one that makes a serious effort at aggregating all the available "hard" data in a systematic, empirically-grounded way. It's not perfect by any means but it's miles above the others.
