US Official Statistics and President Trump

In 2016, Donald Trump promised to reduce taxes and drive rapid economic growth, get rid of federal debt and create new jobs. Over the duration of his presidency, he's made new pledges and claims that can—and frequently are—cross-checked with official data. Today we're tapping into our deep catalog of official US government data to share a couple of examples of how you can use this data to evaluate some of the pledges and claims of President Trump to answer, "How is that working out?"

US Presidential Elections Data Hub

On November 8, US citizens will go to the polls to elect the 45th president of the United States. Predictions of which ticket will win the election and by what margin abound. These predictions should, but do not always, have one thing in common: data. If global events of this decade teach us anything, it’s that seemingly small challenges to the status quo, local sentiment globalized by social media, and many other “unpredictables” can turn the tide quickly and irrevocably. Data, new and old, still has a role to play in understanding US voter turnout, key election issues, and the strength ultimately of the US democratic system. We at Knoema have brought together historical and the latest statistical data from a variety of sources, sorted into five topical categories complete with interactive visualizations to make navigation through data easier. These topics are: 1 - the 2016 elections; 2 - campaign financing; 3 - election preferences & presidential job approval; 4 - voting history; and 5 - gender differences. One thought provoking - and perhaps "get out to vote" worthy - finding from this data collection is that polling trends in favor of Hillary Clinton look similar to that of Mitt Romney during the last 100 days before the 2012 US presidential election. And, yes, you've guessed it, Donald Trump seems to be following the pattern of President Obama. Extending this scenario out through the final two weeks of the campaign, Trump's chances of winning the election get stronger: President Obama gained his decisive advantage over Romney in the last two weeks of the 2012 campaign. As a bonus, we have added special coverage at the bottom of this page to share information on the length of political party platforms, presidential vetoes, and host cities of the political parties' national conventions.

US Presidential Elections: Popular, Electoral, and Total Votes 1824-2012

The presidential election in the United States is an indirect election in which US citizens vote not directly for the President but for a set of electors known as the U.S. Electoral College who, in turn, cast ballots directly for President and Vice President. To win the vote candidate should get the majority of electoral votes. The designation of the electors by citizens is conducted in the manner of the popular vote, which takes place on the Election Day, determined to be on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Thus, current 2016 United States presidential elections will be held on November 8. During the popular vote, citizens in each state are required to select a set of electors - who are pledged to vote for one of the candidates - by selecting this candidate on the ballot. Each of 50 states has a certain number of electors, that depends on the population of the state: the more the population of the state the bigger the number of electors from that state. As a whole, there are 538 electors in the Electoral Colledge. If the majority of people in a state voted for a specific candidate then all the state's electors should vote for this candidate on the electoral vote - the system, known as "winner-takes-all". This system makes presidential nominees analyze whether it is possible to get the majority in each state.

2016 US General Elections: Latest Polls

The 58th United States presidential election that is scheduled for November 8, 2016, will determine 45th President and 48th Vice President of the United States. The candidates were selected during the primary elections held between February and June 2016. The Republican Party nominated Donald Trump, a businessman and reality television actor with no experience as an elected political official. The Democratic Party nominated Hillary Clinton, whose former public positions include US Secretary of State, US Senator (NY), and First Lady of the United States.  Polls out this week report odds of 84 percent that Hillary Clinton will win the US election, based on a popular vote of 45.5 percent for the democratic ticket (Hillary Clinton) and 41.7 percent for the Republican ticket (Donald Trump), leaving no chance for third party or independent candidates—such as Gary Johnson, the nominee from Libertarian Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party—to win the election. The latest polls show that only 4-8 percent of respondents support the third and green party candidates.  Some will point out that popular election results do not always align with electoral election results, and it is the latter that will determine the next president of the United States. True enough. A review of the history of US presidential elections reveals that in four elections—1824, 1876, 1888 and 2000—the elected president actually lost the popular vote. It is also true that analysis of political party platform length favors Donald Trump to win the election. These points aside, election onlookers of all political stripes surely agree that this US presidential election, these polling figures, are breaking with political tradition and will bring new character to US election data to consume data scientists, historians, and other election spectators alike for years to come.

U.S. Elections: Length of Political Party Platforms vs Number of Electoral Votes

Every political party has its own platform that comprises a set of its principal goals. The purpose of a political party platform is to appeal to the general public in order to gather its support on elections. So, what platforms help to get more votes? This is a difficult question to answer, as there are a lot of qualitative factors affecting a platform's appeal. Still, there is one quantitative factor that could be apparently measured. And this is a platform's length in words. Indeed, this is not the key determinant of a platform's relative strength, but it at least could show how easily the platform could be read and understood by the general public and thus supported by it. As the history of the U.S. presidential elections shows, in 23 out of 43 cases, the nominee from the party with the lengthier platform won the elections. Moreover, there is a slight positive relation between a political party platform's length and the number of electoral votes received by the political party's nominee. There are two possible explanations to this: either shorter platform does not mean easier to understand or lengthier platforms are considered to be more "clever". And finally, it could be that a platform's length just does not affect its appeal at all and the correlation is a matter of chance. Anyway, in this year's elections, Republican Party's platform is longer than that of the Democratic Party on 9,409 words. So, if a platform's length really increases (even lightly) a nominee's chances to win the elections, then this is a positive sign to Donald Trump. Yet the results of the latest national polls show that Hillary Clinton is supported by a bigger share of the U.S. citizens - a factor that seems to be more significant than the length of a political party platform.
