Who Do You Think Will Win?

Interesting results to the question "Who Do You Think will Win?"

Regardless of who they are voting for, voters are asked who they think will win and the results have been on target.  In a new study, "Over the last 60 years, poll questions that asked people which candidate they expected to win have been a better guide to the outcome of the presidential race than questions asking people whom they planned to vote for, the study found."

Voters may know who relatives or friends are voting for and take that into consideration when answering the question.  "The authors estimate that a typical voter has as much information as about 10 randomly selected voters polled about their own intentions."
