It's only been a few weeks since dozens of incorrect New Hampshire Primary polls made pundits and news organziations look foolish by calling Barack Obama victorious by a wide margin. Now, GW may have a more accurate way of predicting who will win Presidential primaries and caucuses.Last week, the university became a sponsor of the Battleground Poll, which measures public opinon regarding candidates.
The poll is a coalition of the democratic polling firm, Lake Research Partners and the Tarrance Group, which is affiliated with the Republican Party. The groups analyze data to interpret voter preferences. Supporters of the poll claim that the results of the Battleground Poll have been accurate since the 1992 Presidential Election.
As part of the agreement, Gelman Library will be the archive for previous Battleground Polls.
