OLPUND - Pudits, Polls & Politics! The '24 Election!
Course Description
The ‘24 Election is here! Let’s 1) ReviewPOTUS “Approval” history 1945-2020),
2) Explore how better voter polls are
done, 3) Discuss “Pundits”, 4) Define
“Generations” and 5) We will review
current polls and focus on the “issues”
by doing some actual in-class polls!
Next, we’ll try a Corporate Assessment
Model, “CAM”, a business “tool” by
which we can rank the issues AND
the candidates! Finally, we will do a
class electoral vote prediction! Do just
6% of eligible voters actually decide
an election? How can we voters be
part of that 6%! A cellphone and some
familiarity with Q/R codes is helpful,
but not required. This is a non-partisan
discussion!
