Apologies, my above explanation is actually wrong. The article is actually referencing the margin of the candidate. So it was a 82 point margin between Clinton and Trump in 2016, which is still difficult to interpret because it doesn't

I think you're misreading my statement, it's a 10% swing in the direction of Trump, not a 10% overall preference for Trump. From 82% favoring Hillary to 71% favoring Biden for black voters. That's a 10% change towards Trump&#

I think polls being more representative of turnout amongst minorities could help indicate a potential black swan event for the election. If turnout does return to 2008 and 2012 election levels, polls featured in this fivethirtyeight article

It might be a solution although I think regulating this specific form of political ads would have unintended negative consequences. I think things like hard cap campaign contribution limits (as in overall campaign fundraising cap rather tha

That's a good question, the only thing I could find (and take it with a grain of salt) was that Trump spent $5 per vote compared to Clinton's $10 per vote if you assume all the money they raised was spent. https://www.r

This realization really pushed me away from mainstream media entirely. I explicitly remember and can still find articles about Obama's campaign being cutting edge by using "behavioral data" ( https://theweek.com&#x2
