For 2024, we really dug in. Beyond our traditional ratings and analysis, we added a ton of features so you can visualize what factored into our conclusions, see factors interact across the map, and even use our tool to make your own assumptions. Happy electioneering!
Editor’s Note: the 2024 election is over, what is displayed here is the last version of the model before Election Day, 2024. Overall, our model performed quite well, missing only one state each in the presidential and Senate elections. You can read our retrospective assessment of our model that begins to look into how we can further improve here. To see how the model would’ve run the election with an R+1.8 generic ballot (the actual result), click here.

0.7
The generic ballot is the leading party’s average polling lead this cycle
The generic ballot is the leading party’s average polling lead this cycle. It is currently D+0.7.
That is to say, the Democratic Party is estimated to win the national popular vote by 0.7%.
Relative to 2020, how have __ voters shifted?
R+
2
A national R+2 shift in white non-college voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.7
Whites without college degrees make up 36% of the United States.
This demographic has shifted towards Republicans in recent cycles
but we expect the rapid shift towards Republicans to decelerate in 2024.
D+
6
A national D+6 shift in college-educated voters will cause the United States
to shift by D+2.1
35% of the United States has a college degree.
These voters have shifted Democratic in recent years
and have high turnout levels.
We expect Democrats to get an additional boost from this group.
R+
6
A national R+6 shift in Mexican American voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.7
Mexican Americans make up 11% of the United States. Though they tend to vote Democratic,
we expect them to shift
slightly towards Republicans
this year given heightened frustration with immigration and the economy.
D+
7
A national D+7 shift in military voters will cause the United States
to shift by D+0.5
Veterans and members of the military make up 7% of the United States. They are Republican-leaning,
but we anticipate they will continue moving towards Democrats this cycle.
R+
5
A national R+5 shift in Black voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.7
Black Americans make up 14% of the United States. We believe this otherwise reliably Democratic voting group
may shift
slightly towards Republicans this year.
R+
2
A national R+2 shift in Union voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.2
11% of the workforce in the United States is affiliated with a labor union.
We expect these voters to become only slightly more Republican,
as the GOP has courted them more in recent elections.
D+
6
A national D+6 shift in senior voters will cause the United States
to shift by D+0.5
A national R+2.5 shift in independent voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.4
Though those who do not lean towards either party make up only 16% of the United States,
they represent a small and more volatile portion of the electorate, especially when there are
stronger third party candidates running. This cycle, we expect third parties to
harm the incumbent party
more than the challenging party with these voters.
R+
1
A national R+1 shift in Evangelical voters will cause the United States
to shift by R+0.2
Evangelicals make up 24% of the United States. We expect this staunchly Republican group
to remain steadfastly conservative, albeit with limited room for growth for Trump.
D+
6.5
A national D+6.5 shift in Mormon voters will cause the United States
to shift by D+0.1
