MATTHEW DOWD REVIEW

Dowd was heavily criticized after his poor prediction that Hilary Clinton would win the 2016 US presidential election by a bigger margin than Obama in 2012. His word said;

“I think she has about a 95 chance of winning this election, and I think she’ll have a higher margin than Barack Obama in 2012. She’s going to win by over 5 million votes. She will earn a higher percentage. And interestingly, she will have a more diverse coalition than Barack Obama, even when you factor in the final vote. Each piece of data points in this direction. »
