Most Popular Governor candidates #4

Find a way to get the most popular governor candidates in the Democrat and Republican party

Is there an API which gets us the party, or candidate data?
If not, is there a good way to scrape this data? (Perhaps check polling websites)

I found Google API (https://developers.google.com/civic-information/) but not sure it is recently updated. The time label on it is 2014. So I found the other API(https://medium.com/ndp-annotations/civic-and-political-apis-data-sets-and-websites-136fa63a0af1) If we just need the name of candidates we can use this file (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1peOepPqFLcThlNGJpJeUC4BkztRDwyP179SU2wwD5-w/edit?usp=sharing)
