New 2026 US House & Senate election forecasts, using all political science knowledge we could systematize, & our statistical methods from “If a Statistical Model Predicts That Common Events Should Occur Only Once in 10,000 Elections, Maybe It’s the Wrong Model” with @DannyCEbanks and @Jonathan_N_Katz. GaryKing.org/electit We make these forecasts available (including all the input data, methods, and procedures), not only for their possible public interest, but because academics learn by making themselves vulnerable to being proven wrong. We will make no changes to our post-primary forecasts (which do not use polls) but will update two other sets on this site incorporating poll results as new ones appear. Comments on the paper or forecasts are welcome!

New public opinion polling reveals that Cuban citizens primarily blame their government, rather than the U.S., for the island’s current economic collapse. The findings come from the 2026 AmericasBarometer, which collected public opinion data in Cuba for the first time.

Bookmarking this seminal contribution to understand the politically crucial yet severely understudied 21st century politicization of rural interests in Latin America. A must read for scholars of political economy in Latin America and beyond.
