ASSET ALLOCATION CONSTRUCTION US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION MATHS Investor attention over the past few months has, with good reason, been focused on all things related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Understanding the current impact and future consequences of the virus has been of paramount importance. Now that we appear to be over the worst of the crisis in most developed economies, investors are starting to think about other issues such as the impending US presidential election. In this Infocus report Daniel Murray examines the prospects for the two main parties. 2016 revisited Democrat voters appear to have been put off more by Hillary 2016 was a year full of surprises: Donald Trump was not Clinton than potential Republican voters were put off by expected to win the Republican Party nomination, nor was Donald Trump. This is supported by the observation that the he expected to win the race for the White House once the Republican share of the popular vote decreased by about 1% nomination was secured. That he did so was even more between 2012 and 2016 whereas the Democrat share of the surprising given that he won only 46% of the popular vote vote fell by about 3%.1 compared to 48% won by Democrat Party candidate Hillary Clinton.

Moreover, potential year although it has declined a little recently (see Figure 2). 1 US presidential elections are unusual to the extent that they are dominated by only two parties. Whereas the electoral systems of many other countries include multiple parties capable of influencing the result, in the US the two main parties have in effect had a duopoly for at least 100 years. This means that independent candidates are often from fringe parties and therefore lack the resources and credibility to attract a meaningful number of votes. The last independent candidate to make a significant mark on the US presidential election was Ross Perot who stood in both 1992 and 1996, attracting 18.9% and 8.4% of the vote respectively. However, he failed to win any electoral college votes. In the 2016 election Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson won 3.3% of the vote and Green party candidate Jill Stein won 1.1%. 2 See recent Macro Flash Note from 3 June 2020, “China-US relations: it’s complicated”. 2 | June 2020 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION MATHS 2.

    Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content.

According to a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, just 1% of the campaign coverage by major news outlets (including broadcast and cable television, radio, newspaper front pages and the most popular news websites) focused on the religion of the candidates or the role of religion in the presidential election. Only 6% of the election- related stories in major news outlets contained any reference to religion. Media attention to religion’s importance in the campaign peaked during the primaries, when several Republican candidates spoke about their Christian beliefs.

  • The Exit Poll Phenomenon
    Chapter 1 The Exit Poll Phenomenon n election day in the United States, exit polls are the talk of the nation. Even before ballot- O ing has concluded, the media uses voters’ responses about their electoral choices to project final results for a public eager for immediate information. Once votes have been tallied, media commentators from across the political landscape rely almost exclusively on exit polls to explain election outcomes. The exit polls show what issues were the most important in the minds of the voters. They identify how different groups in the electorate cast their ballots. They expose which character traits helped or hurt particular candidates. They even reveal voters’ expectations of the government moving forward. In the weeks and months that follow, exit polls are used time and again to give meaning to the election results. Newly elected officials rely on them to substantiate policy mandates they claim to have received from voters. Partisan pundits scrutinize them for successful and failed campaign strategies. Even political strategists use them to pinpoint key groups and issues that need to be won over to succeed in future elections. Unfortunately, these same exit poll results are not easily accessible to members of the public interested in dissecting them. After appearing in the next day’s newspapers or on a politically ori- ented website, they disappear quickly from sight as the election fades in prominence. Eventually, the exit polls are archived at universities where only subscribers are capable of retrieving the data. But nowhere is a complete set of biennial exit poll results available in an easy-to-use format for curious parties.

  • THE COLOR of NEWS: How Different Media Have Covered the General Election
    THE COLOR OF NEWS: How Different Media Have Covered the General Election When it comes to coverage of the campaign for president 2008, where one goes for news makes a difference, according to a new study. In cable, the evidence firmly suggests there now really is an ideological divide between two of the three channels, at least in their coverage of the campaign. Things look much better for Barack Obama—and much worse for John McCain—on MSNBC than in most other news outlets. On the Fox News Channel, the coverage of the presidential candidates is something of a mirror image of that seen on MSNBC. The tone of CNN’s coverage, meanwhile, lay somewhere in the middle of the cable spectrum, and was generally more negative than the press overall. On the evening newscasts of the three traditional networks, in contrast, there is no such ideological split. Indeed, on the nightly newscasts of ABC, CBS and NBC, coverage tends to be more neutral and generally less negative than elsewhere. On the network morning shows, Sarah Palin is a bigger story than she is in the media generally. And on NBC News programs, there was no reflection of the tendency of its cable sibling MSNBC toward more favorable coverage of Democrats and more negative of Republicans than the norm. Online, meanwhile, polling tended to drive the news. And on the front pages of newspapers, which often have the day-after story, things look tougher for John McCain than they tend to in the media overall. 1 These are some of the findings of the study, which examined 2,412 stories from 48 outlets during the time period from September 8 to October 16.1 The report is a companion to a study released October 22 about the tone of coverage overall.
