Incumbent Advantage - All candidates
<form name="partymenu" onsubmit="gotosite(document.forms[0].url.options[document.forms[0].url.selectedIndex].value);return false">
The charts below show the enormous financial advantage enjoyed by
incumbents in the 2006 elections. That's one of the reasons reelection
rates are so high. In 2004, 98 percent of House incumbents were reelected (excluding incumbents facing incumbents),
as were 96 percent of incumbent Senators.
