The Cook Partisan Voting Index, abbreviated PVI or CPVI, is a measurement of how partisan [1] a United States congressional district or state is. This partisanship [2] is indicated as lean towards either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, compared to the nation as a whole, based on how that district or state voted in the previous two presidential elections. [3] [4]

History

The Partisan Voting Index was developed in 1997 by Charlie Cook of The Cook Political Report , in conjunction with Clark Bensen and his political statistical analysis firm, Polidata, "as a means of providing a more accurate picture of the competitiveness". [5] [6] [7] It is based on the methodology introduced by Rob Richie of the Center for Voting and Democracy (FairVote for the Center's July 1997 Monopoly Politics report. [8] [9]

The Cook Political Report has since released new PVI scores every two years. [10] In 2021, the newsletter ended its relationship with Polidata and instead used Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections to calculate 2020's results. [7] The most recent iteration is the 2022 Cook Partisan Voting Index, which was released with an updated formula for calculating PVI values. [11]

Calculation and format

The index looks at how every congressional district voted in the past two presidential elections combined and compares it to the national average. [12] The Cook PVI is displayed as a letter, a plus sign, and a number, with the letter (either a D for Democratic or an R for Republican) indicating the party that outperformed in the district and the number showing how many percentage points above the national average it received. [10] In 2022, the formula was updated to weigh the most recent presidential election more heavily than the prior election. [11]

By congressional district

The PVIs for congressional districts are calculated based on the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. [11] With a PVI of R+1, Michigan's 8th congressional district was determined to be the median congressional district, meaning that exactly 217 districts are more Democratic and 217 are more Republican than this district. [11] As of 2022, in the House, there are 222 districts more Republican than the national average, and 206 districts more Democratic than the national average. The number of swing seats, defined as those between D+5 and R+5, is 87. [11]
