University of Colorado Study: 77% Chance Mitt Romney Wins Popular Vote (Al Gore, legal)

[Ferd]

I think this is the model I was thinking of. Same guy involved but related to the electoral college.

Updated election forecasting model still points to Romney win, University of Colorado study says | University of Colorado Boulder

intersting information here. It states that those models that have been published are evenly split between the two candidates...

Fun fact in the article, it is predicting Romney to win the Popular vote, but it is unsure about the Electoral College, which anyone who votes should know that we pick our president through electoral college, so it doesn't really matter if this group predicts Romney to win the popular vote.

I have lost some respect for University of Colorado studies, after watching Romney get totally plowed under.

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.

What this means...

The political science department at Colorado is even weaker than their football team.
