General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Connecticut in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 21, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eleven candidates filed to run for Connecticut's five U.S. House districts, including five Democrats and six Republicans. That's 2.2 candidates per district, down from 2.6 in 2020 and 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Connecticut was apportioned five districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 11 candidates who filed to run this year were the fewest since 2014, when 10 candidates ran, and down from 13 in 2020 and 2018.

All incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open seats this year. The 5th district was the only Connecticut U.S. House seat to have opened up this past decade. It was open in 2012 after incumbent Rep. Chris Murphy (D) decided to run for the U.S. Senate, and again in 2018, when incumbent Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D) didn’t file for re-election.

The Republican primary in the 4th district was the only contested primary this year. That was down from two in 2020 and 2018. No incumbents faced primary challengers. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all five districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.

As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.

Redistricting following the 2020 census

The Connecticut Reapportionment Commission voted 8-0 in favor of new maps for the state's 151 House districts and 36 Senate districts on November 18 and November 23, 2021, respectively.[5][6] The commission, made up of four Democratic lawmakers, four Republican lawmakers, and a ninth member selected by the commissioners, took over the redistricting process after the previous Reapportionment Committee failed to meet its Sept. 15 deadline to select maps and win two-thirds approval from both chambers of the Connecticut General Assembly.[7] Census data was not delivered until Sept. 16. Unlike the committee, maps prepared by the Reapportionment Commission did not need to win approval from the General Assembly.[8] This map took effect for Connecticut's 2022 legislative elections.
