[EM] USA 2012 presidential election

[Warren D Smith]

summarizes.

QUESTIONS:
1. Can anybody find range or approval style polls
involving Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Jon HUntsman, or Buddy Roemer?

2. A possible project is a graphic like the one by RCP for the
plurality polls vs time, but
instead for approval style polls versus time. I think there is a good
chance that the approval-style polls will exhibit SMALLER crazy
fluctuations which will
demonstrate approval would have acted less crazy than plurality voting in this
election.

There is a tremendous amount of approval-style poll data for this
election, at least 100 polls worth. (Let me know if interested in
undertaking that project -- warren.wds AT gmail.com)
