In a story on the state of the Romney campaign, the Washington Post's "Wonkblog" refers to Temple political scientist Christopher Wlezien's new book, The Timeline of Presidential Elections. "What [co-author] Erikson and Wlezien did is rather remarkable: They collected pretty much every publicly available poll conducted during the last 200 days of the past 15 presidential elections and then ran test after test on the data to see what we could say about the trajectory of presidential elections. Their results make Romney’s situation look very dire," writes the blog's author.
