A bellwether is any indicator or predictor of something. In presidential electoral politics, states may be considered bellwethers of future electoral outcomes because of how many times they have voted for the winning candidate or party. Below is an analysis of Connecticut's voting record in presidential elections from 1900 to 2024. The state's accuracy is based on the number of times the state has voted for the winning presidential candidate.
