The APM Research Lab Election Coverage
Your go-to data analysts this political season

The APM Research Lab released new "Voter Profile Tools" as part of its ongoing Representing US project, which provides a wealth of nonpartisan data to understand voter characteristics and behaviors.

Available on the APM Research Lab website, the Voter Profile Tools allow users to easily compare profiles of potential voters in all 435 congressional districts, 50 states, and the overall U.S. electorate. The suite of easy, interactive graphics provides the latest data and rankings on the demographic and economic characteristics of eligible voters—from education and income levels, to racial and immigrant make-up and much more.

The APM Research Lab's Voter Profile Tools are an essential resource for journalists, campaigns, political wonks, and engaged citizens across the US who care about the November election outcomes and want the latest data to read the political tea leaves.

Immigrant Voters Could Decide This Election

Did you know that 1 in every 66 potential voters is a Mexican immigrant? Immigrants now represent nearly 10% of all eligible voters in the U.S. In the 13 battleground states that President Trump won or lost by five percentage points or less in 2016, immigrants now make up a higher proportion of potential voters than his margin was in every state but Maine. Explore the number and countries of origin for immigrant voters in every state, with two interactive data visualizations.
