Princeton Consortium-Probability of Obama re-election: Random Drift 92%, Bayesian Prediction 98%

http://election.princeton.edu/


Professor Wang called Bush/Kerry to within 1 EV of the outcome; Obama/McCain exactly. They basically just aggregate the state polls with nonparametric statistics and plot out the EV probabilities.

I still think there Is chance of getting 300 Electoral votes.If Obama wins all non southern battlegrounds and picks up 1 of 3
southern battlegrounds(Most lIkely Virginia) he could do It.Although I don't rule out possibility of Obama prevailing In all the swing states
and Romney wins Mccain States+Indiana

every day and consistently come up with between 90-95% for Obama. Average EV for Obama is 302.

It is a fun distraction and uplifting as well as seeming to be in line with most predictions.
