There’s MORE Great News
for America coming - according to
Dr. Gerard Lameiro. Many will recall that in 2016 Dr. Lameiro accurately predicted
a Trump victory while most pollsters and pundits gave Trump almost zero chance
of winning the presidential election. In his Electoral College forecast,
Dr. Lameiro correctly predicted every state that candidate Trump actually
carried in the 2016 election. On November 8th, we all learned that Dr.
Lameiro’s Electoral College forecast was right on the money.
Facebook made big
headlines this week due to its users’ personal data being utilized in
presidential campaign models. Why did Facebook, predictive analytics, and
presidential campaign models sink the Dow Jones Industrials on Monday?
This entire story
about Facebook and the presidential elections of 2016 and 2012 all center
around a little-known topic, namely predictive analytics. In my brand
new book, More Great News
for America, I not only make
eight bold and surprising predictions about politics in America, but I also
explain in common sense and easy-to-understand, language (without math and
statistics) what predictive analytics are and how they are related to
presidential election models and polling.
While forecast models
take current or past data on many voters and project it forward into the
future, predictive analytics tries to better understand what current factors
are influencing individual voters to yield their likely future behavior.
Predictive Analytics attempts to understand individual voters well enough to
recognize what influences their voting decisions. A presidential campaign can
then customize their outreach to individual voters.
Facebook lost nearly
7% of its stock market price on Monday because investors were worried that the
Facebook business model might be harmed as a result of using their data about
individuals to help various presidential campaigns in the future. In addition,
this controversy might erode the overall ability of Facebook to monetize its
data and business model for other campaigns and commercial purposes. This news
also hurt the Dow Jones because it had a negative impact on tech stocks in
general.
