Abstract

Predicting elections accurately has long been a useful exercise. For scholars, prospective prediction is a test of their understanding of electoral dynamics. For candidates and activists, prospective prediction helps efficient resource allocation. For the public and the media, prospective prediction helps in following and understanding campaigns (see Lewis-Beck and Rice, 1984; Jones, 1999).
