What is the Cook Political Report?
Founded
in 1984, The Cook
Political Report is an independent, non-partisan newsletter
that analyzes elections and campaigns for the US House of
Representatives,
US Senate, Governors and President as well as American political
trends. In 2004, we moved to an online-based publication.
Among the subscribers to The Cook Political Report are lobbyists,
trade associations, corporations, labor unions, Members of
Congress, political action committees and interest groups
across the political spectrum. All have come to rely upon
The Cook Political Report for objective information and analysis
about who is running in what races, what the most important

look for as the campaigns progress.
