  • ROMNEY V. OBAMA – HOW TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME:
    IT’S THE MESSAGE THAT MATTERS

    Professor Lynn Vavreck of UCLA, an expert on presidential campaigns, past and future, understands what’s really important in presidential elections.  She has studied past elections and has spoken and published extensively on how to predict the results of presidential elections based on her analysis of previous presidential contests.  She is an expert in polling and what all these presidential polls actually mean.

    Lynn is an  Associate Professor of Political Science & Communication Studies at UCLA, with prior appointments at Princeton, Dartmouth and The White House.  Her fields of expertise include political campaigns, elections and advertising.  Her major publication, The Message Matters:  The Economy and Presidential Campaigns, provides new insights on how to understand the results of past presidential elections and how this understanding can help us predict the results of the 2012 presidential races.

    Thanks to our Board Member Liz Parker for bringing Professor Vavreck to WIL!
