Thanks to Stephen Jackson and crew for carrying our trivia team across the finish line, despite my misidentifying Adlai Stevenson as Lyndon LaRouche in the 'failed presidential candidates' photo category. A fun way to celebrate 40 years of Cook Political Report.
How accurate are Cook Political Report's race ratings? Last summer, I compiled CPR's 10,000+ historical ratings dating back to 1984 to answer that question.
Lean ratings were correct ~94% of the time, Likely ratings ~97%, and Solid ratings virtually 100%

Thanks for the credit. It was a lot of fun taking this idea to FiveThirtyEight back in 2016, and kudos to the talented Aaron Bycoffe for bringing this interactive to life then and now.

New Cook Political Report: WA could be headed for quite a bit of turnover in 2024, and Dems' bid for the House could come down to #WA03 Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's (D) race vs. the same flawed, polarizing R she upset in 2022. Full analysis by Erin Covey: cookpolitical.com/analysis/house…
