Guess Who Wins the Presidency According to School With 100% Prediction History

by J.D. Durkin | 11:28 am, November 10th, 2015

Western Illinois University, home of the Fighting Leathernecks, has been engaging with political prediction polls for decades. And since 1975, the school has managed to accurately predict the winner of every single Presidential election in a statistic that is likely to make even Nate Silver jealous.

So with the newest installment tallied and in the books, who does Western Illinois University believe will be taking the stage to declare victory the night of November 8th, 2016?

None other than President-Elect Bernie Sanders, with Vice Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley right by his side.

The students at the school have predicted that Sanders would defeat Hillary Clinton in 22 out of a possible 26 primary states.

Although the school predictive system has not been 100% accurate with choosing VP candidates nor losing tickets, the school did nail the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan ticket of 2012. For the 2016 cycle, they predicted that Jeb Bush would win the Republican nomination and select Marco Rubio to run alongside him; however, Bush/Rubio is expected (by WIU standards, that is) to get demolished by the Sanders/O’Malley ticket, who will take home 404 electoral votes of the necessary 270 needed to win.
