Professor who Predicted Past Five Presidents says Trump will Win

From Newsmax:

Despite the overwhelming consensus of pollsters and pundits that Democratic contender Hillary Clinton will win the election, one academic with a history of correctly predicting the past five presidential elections insisted to Fox News that Donald Trump will triumph Nov. 8.

Stony Brook University Professor Helmut Norpoth said he uses two models for his prediction, the first of which is the Primary Model, as “it usually turns out the candidate who does better in his party’s primaries or her party’s primaries beats the other guy who does less well.”

In his website, Primary Model, Norpoth explains he used the primary races in South Carolina and New Hampshire, where Trump won and performed better than Clinton did in the Democratic race, because the results in the early primaries are the best indicators for the general election.
