That number is significant, not only in its size, but because of the fact that only four presidents since the nation’s founding have won the presidency without capturing the popular vote.

The University of Colorado (CU) prediction renowned for perfect accuracy will predict a popular-vote win for Mitt Romney later this month, Campus Reform has learned.

The poll has accurately predicted every presidential election since it was developed in 1980. It is unique in that it employs factors outside of state economic indicators to predict the next president.

CU Political Science Professor Dr. Michael Berry, who spoke with Campus Reform at length on Tuesday, said there is at least 77 percent chance that Romney will win the popular vote.




The Colorado model has had such accuracy over the years, these results have received no criticism from academic peers, according to Berry.

That's the best Liberals can do.

They can't dispute a model that has been correct in every election, so they act as if they've never heard of it (even though it's been on C-D in the past many times).

You may have a point, if Colorado University was not known as a very liberal school, in by far the most liberal area in a purple state.

I heard this guy on the radio a few days ago. interesting methodology. These kinds of studies are very interesting to me. It will be interesting to see how the findings match the outcome.

I also believe the model predicts a Romney win in the EC? maybe im wrong about that.
