In the final episode of our fourth season, we explore the substance and mechanics of the ongoing U.S. Presidential election.
First, we speak with David Rothschild, an economist with a Ph.D. in applied economics from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently works for Microsoft Research in New York City studying social media data, polling, and markets and is a regular contributor to the Washington Post. Through his development of prediction and sentiment models, David was able to correctly predict 50 of 51 Electoral College outcomes in the 2012 election. We speak with David about the nature and value of contemporary polling, and get his predictions on the ongoing race.
We then speak with Paul Quirk, Phil Lind Chair in U.S. Politics and Representation at the University of British Columbia and received his PhD from Harvard University. We talk to Paul about this controversial election, the rise of Bernie Sanders, and the collapse of the Republican Party.
Finally, we close with a discussion with the entire ROR team, in which we address some of the many controversies sparked by the ongoing race.
