New model for predicting presidential election results based on television viewership

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) A comparative study on predicting presidential election outcomes using models built on watch data for thousands of television shows has found that simple 'single-show models' can have high predictive accuracy.
