Explore the enduring myths surrounding incumbent advantages in the U.S. House of Representatives with ‘Reassessing the Incumbency Effect’. This insightful book challenges the common assumption that incumbents have gained electoral ground in recent decades, questioning the very responsiveness of elections. Contrary to popular belief, the evidence presented reveals no significant improvement in incumbent electoral fortunes over the last 50 years, with notable gains only observed for Republicans due to realignment. Delve into a novel interpretation of incumbent performance, supported by accessible, non-technical data analysis and presentation. Discover a fresh perspective on electoral dynamics and political science, perfect for students, researchers, and anyone interested in American politics. Published by Cambridge University Press, this is a crucial read for understanding the realities of congressional elections.
