Since early September, Alfred Cuzán (http://uwf.edu/govt/cuzan.cfm) has been applying the skills of Polly, the election-forecasting parrot, to predicting the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections. Polly is a colorful and vocal ambassador for the important evidence-based principle that one … should combine forecasts from diverse methods and independent forecasters in order to improve accuracy. Polly's successes are legend (http://pollyvote.forecastingprinciples.com/index.php/media-coverage.html). To avoid being left behind, check out the latest news on Polly's predictions at Pollyvote.com (http://pollyvote.com), and the latest forecasts on the 2010 midterm elections here (http://pollyvote.forecastingprinciples.com/index.php/2010-us-midterm-elections.html).
