    How can we sort out all the hype, hyperbole and hysteria that accompany the current process of electing our president? The impacts of social media and artificial intelligence will loom large in swaying opinions. First, we’ll review voting history, 1945-2020. Then we’ll take a good look at how voter polls are done, the major election issues according to polls, party positions stated and early outcome prediction polls. We’ll do some in-class polls and apply a typical corporate assessment model (CAM) to the choice for POTUS. Just 1 in 20 voters actually decide an election!
