While mainstream media approached last night’s election with uncertainty, citing individual polls about the race narrowing, one Princeton professor predicted Obama’s landslide victory weeks ago. The Princeton Election Consortium, run by Dr. Sam Wang, has been publishing a “meta-analysis” of state-by-state polls and predicting with strong certainty, an Obama win of more than 350 electoral college votes.
