But people are going to consider an R+7 district to be solidly Republican, even thought it barely went to Obama. But Hes Still a Danger. Obama MAY be able to improve for 2012 if he does really well, but this may be a once in a half-generation sorta thing. On the one hand, I like having PVI (or something like it) because it lets you sum up a district in one number. [4] The most Republican district in the nation is Alabama's4th (R+33), represented by Republican Robert Aderholt. Additionally, in Washingtons 13th Legislative District, Republican candidates won an average 64.73% of the two-party share in the 2012 presidential and gubernatorial elections, respectively.Comparing the average of those two results (64.73%) against the average statewide share of the same (45.43%), the district voted approximately 19 percentage points more Republican, or R+19.Following the presidential and gubernatorial elections, presidential and gubernatorial results are compiled to generate Hybrid Partisan Voting Index scores for statewide offices, congressional districts, and political districts or subdivisions including state legislative districts, counties, cities, and precincts. I really don't understand that stereotype that the rich ALL universally vote for the Republicans. A Partisan Voting Index score of D+2, for example, means that in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, that district performed an average of two points more Democratic than the nation did as a whole, while an R+4 means the district performed four points more Republican than the national average. PVI tells us which districts flow with the tides and which are stubbornly resistant. Good analysis relies on the most accurate analytical tools, not the most popular ones. A Cook PVI score of D+2, for example, means that in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, the state or district performed about two points more Democratic in terms of two-party vote share than the nation did as a whole, while a score of R+4 means the state or district performed about four points more Republican. In a few states, these results are aggregated by district by state and/or local election authorities. These are considered competitive races but one party has an advantage. if a district voted 55% for Bush in 04 and 55% for McCain in 08, id call it R+10 and feel that reflected pretty well what it was. 21-07, CLC on The Supreme Courts Role in the Degradation of U.S. Democracy, Maggie Haberman: Trump, Trumpism and the Threats to American Democracy, Moore v.

Similarly, a district with a D+15 is a district that voted 15 percentage points (as an average of its 2000 and 2004 presidential vote) higher for Kerry than the national value of 48.8%. Im willing to convert to using the SVI exclusively. The PVI was developed by Charles Cook, editor and publisher of Cook, and scores each congressional district based on how strongly it leans toward one political party.

Nebraska has two congressional districts at R+4 and R+27. If a district performed within half a point of the national average in either direction, we assign it a score of EVEN. I live in a house thats over 40 years old that was constructed on somewhat marshy soil. So, I was thinking if we really want to go large, and contribute something to the broader blogosphere, that goes beyond a purportedly more accurate version of PVI, that really affects the larger conversation about what a district can and cant support, maybe we should try categorizing districts in terms of 20 or 25 typologies. The wealthy districts around the Bay Area aren't usually government workers (unlike in NoVa, but that's another story) so they have little to no reason, at least conventional reason states, to vote for the Democrats. Trending Democratic, and also increasingly willing to vote Dem downticket, although often in reaction to terrible GOP incumbents. (Cook PVI) is a service mark of Invincible Summer Media, Inc.

"The House is less 'elastic' than ever not just because the share of swing seats has cratered, but because voters are splitting their tickets less frequently.

If certain, wed put them in the solid D or solid R bin, and if uncertain, wed still get an idea of how big the swing block is, and whether they lean D or R. Now, even if we do an abstract version of this, via polling, we (or anyone else) would still need to put in a ton of groundwork into gathering this data.
