Subject: Poll Results: Ray Fair economic model is not a good way to predict US elections

The previous KDnuggets Poll asked: Is Ray Fair economic model a good way to predict US elections?

Based on 64 votes, 56% said no, while only 13% said yes.

Several people commented that generalization from only 22 points does not give high confidence and that there is more to predicting the popular vote than economy. However, while not the full story, Ray Fair model seems to quantify important aspects of the economic factors that influence US presidential elections.

Here are the full results and comments.
