What People Are Saying...

The Cook Political Report is the gold standard in covering campaigns.
KQED's Political Breakdown
Turn off cable news. Tune out other political punditry. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to the Cook Political Report. It is the foremost authority in Washington on election analysis, forecasting, and political race handicapping.
Tyson Redpath, The Russell Group
Highly recommended…The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, just a tremendous source of insights.
David Axelrod, Hacks On Tap, CNN
I decided to upgrade from being a casual fan of the CPR team to subscribing, when I realized the value a subscription offers.
John V., Houston, TX
The CPR with Amy Walter is a DC institution, as essential as the Lincoln Memorial or Ben’s Chili Bowl. I go to all three often!
Martin Hamburger, Hamburger Group Creative
Overall, we rate The Cook Political Report Least Biased based on a long track record of calling races based on known data. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.
Media Bias / Fact Check
The CPR has long been one of the absolute staples of American political handicapping... crucial...to the political community -- on Capitol Hill and nationally.
Punchbowl News
I love the Cook Political Report. I think it's wonderful…it's full of very straightforward information, but you also have a point of view, which is important.
Kara Swisher, On With Kara Swisher
The best, thoughtful – smart – political analysis.
