New: Amy Walter and I had a lot of fun walking down memory lane and nerding out on the defining House races of the last 40 years on Cook Political Report’s Odd Years podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1v9dN8…
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.
