David Wasserman is House Editor for The Cook Political Report, where he is responsible for analyzing U.S. House Races and is recognized as one of the nation's top election forecasters. Founded in 1984, The Cook Political Report provides analyses of Presidential, U.S. Senate, House and gubernatorial races. The New York Times has called the Report 'a newsletter both parties regard as authoritative.'
Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com has written: 'Wasserman's knowledge of the nooks and crannies of political geography can make him seem like a local,' and the Los Angeles Times has called David a 'whip smart' and 'scrupulously nonpartisan' analyst whose 'numbers nerd-dom was foretold at a young age.'
In 2016, David drew praise for his accurate pre-election analysis, including his piece 'How Trump Could Win the White House While Losing the Popular Vote,' written two months before Election Day. Chuck Todd, host of NBC's Meet the Press, recently called David 'pretty much the only person you need to follow on Election Night.'
David is a contributor to NBC News and his election commentary has been cited in numerous top publications including Politico, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and RealClearPolitics.com. He has served as an analyst for the NBC News Election Night Decision Desk in 2018, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2010, and 2008, and has appeared on C-SPAN, CNN, Fox News and NPR.
In the spring of 2019, David was named a Pritzker Fellow at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, where he led a seminar entitled 'Mapping Our Future: Forecasting Elections & Redistricting 2021.' A frequent speaker and guest lecturer, David has shared his insights into the latest political trends with audiences at Harvard's Institute of Politics, the Dole Institute of Politics, and Georgetown's Government Affairs Institute.

Dave Wasserman, Political Analyst at The Cook Political Report, has become known for his election night tweets using the phrase “I’ve seen enough” when his data show that a particular candidate will win a race and by making that statement he’s effectively saying he’s calling it.
Last night Dave effectively called the presidential race in these tweets:
If you're looking for a horse race narrative right now, you're not going to find it here. There was a time when it was easy to imagine this race going much differently. Eight days out, it's much, much harder. I've seen...almost enough.

Biden projected chances of winning the race are up to 88% this morning in FiveThirtyEight’s model and up to 95% this morning in The Economist’s model.
