How can we sort out all the hype, hyperbole and hysteria that accompanies the current process of electing our president? In 2024, the impacts of social media and artificial intelligence will loom large in swaying opinions! First, we will review voting history from 1945-2020. Then we will take a good look at: 1) How better voter polls are done, 2) The major election issues according to polls, 3) Party positions stated, and 4) Early outcome prediction polls. We will do some in-class polls AND apply a typical corporate assessment model (CAM) to the choice for POTUS. Just 1 in 20 voters actually decide an election! Let's be a better prepared voter and be part of the "1". We will continue to track the campaign in a separate follow up class coming in fall term.
