Question

Which factor generally favors non-incumbent challengers in Congressional elections over incumbent candidate

Answer 1

Answer:

sway among discontent voters

Explanation:

One of the few likely advantages of a challenger over an incumbent in Congressional races is sway among discontent voters. Incumbents most often enjoy name recognition, backing of their parties, and greater access to government resources. However, if voters are displeased with the incumbent, they will most likely favor the challenger.
