Almanac of American Politics

The 2026 edition of the Almanac of American Politics (CBIS), known as “The Bible of American Politics,” features profiles of every senator, House member, and governor. Jacobson, who was named chief author for this edition and has worked on seven previous editions, writes an overview on the current political moment. The almanac also includes details on each state and congressional district as well as profiles of the president and vice president. This book is the holy grail for all there is to know about the political landscape.
