Early prediction: The left will win the election by a comfortable margin, although it will appear to be "close" for a while.

     Furthermore, the left will be surprised by winning, even though it is quite obvious that the odds are in their favor.

Well, clearly, since the left has been getting so many new recruits lately, and remains so firmly united.

Of course, we can't just take it for granted.

     Given the period for which the Atlasian left has been more powerful than the Atlasian right, it would seem bizarre to me to assume anything other than a left-wing advantage until demonstrated otherwise. This is doubly true when you consider the tradition of right-wing candidates overpolling in Presidential races (February 2009, June 2009, October 2010).

     Notice that in almost two and a half years, the RPP has never won a single-seat national election. The only person to win a Presidential election in the last three years without JCP support was afleitch, & he was a member of the centrist DA at the time (granted he has joined the RPP in the interim, though is nevertheless one of the party's more centrist members).

Remember that bgwah was elected with the support of the RPP. And anyways, the President isn't that important : Senate elections are the decisive ones, and until recently the right held a 6 seats majority.

Afleitch also got a fair bit of left support.

I know, I know. I was kidding. You may remember that I was in the sample, and what my answers were. Smiley

Due to confidentiality I will neither confirm nor deny your statement ;-)
I described myself as a Pantheist, expressed no approval or disapproval of any candidate, but voted for the left's candidate in every matchup.
I also - quite truthfully - couldn't remember what state I'm registered in. I still can't. Some Midwestern state, is all I know.

Yeah, I remember moving there, but that was quite a while ago, I changed one man parties several times since, and I honestly wasn't sure whether I ever moved state too.

When someone declines to state their party or state, I just look it up for them. Tongue

Wow, seems like there is a huge religion gap in Atlasia...

Mirrored in RL, at least among those who attend Christian services regularly.
