Ballotpedia's Daily Brew


This week's question was, What percentage of congressional races were decided by fewer than 10 percentage points last year?

You answered: 21.7%.
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!
