Abstract

Although the presidential coattail effect has been an object of frequent 
study, the question of whether popular congressional candidates boost 
vote shares in return for their parties' presidential candidates remains 
unexplored. This article investigates whether so-called “reverse 
coattails” exist using a regression discontinuity design with 
congressional district-level data from presidential elections between 
1952 and 2004. Taking incumbency to be near-randomly distributed in 
cases where congressional candidates have just won or lost their 
previous elections, I find that the numerous substantial advantages of 
congressional incumbency have no effect on presidential returns for 
these incumbents' parties. This null finding underscores my claim that 
the existing coattail literature deserves greater scrutiny. My results 
also prompt a rethinking of the nature of the advantages that incumbents 
bring to their campaigns and may help deepen our understanding of 
partisanship in the United States.
