This week's question was, What percentage of congressional races were decided by fewer than 10 percentage points last year?
You answered: 26.4%.
The correct answer was 18.1%.
Of the 470 congressional elections held last year, 18.1% (85) were decided by 10 percentage points or fewer. That percentage was down from 2018 (21.7%) and 2020 (18.9%).
But when looking at races decided by five percentage points or fewer, the figure in 2022 is actually the second-highest since 2014 at 9.8% (46), behind only 2018 with 10.6% (50).
Thanks for your response!
