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. We spoke with Sam Wang on Uprising in the lead up to the election. Today we re-connect with him to see how his prediction played out.

GUEST: Sam Wang, Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University, runs the blog, Princeton Election Consortium. For more information, visit election.princeton.edu.
