SWAMMER AND THE POLITICAL ANALYSIS

SWAMMER, a trend analysis tool combining unique methodological concepts and real-time analyses, has demonstrated yet again, its predictive powers for the 2007 Quebec Provincial Election. On March 26th 2007, the day the provincial elections were held, SWAMMER proved its unparalleled accuracy and reliability by accurately predicting the outcome of the elections.

When comparing SWAMMER's predictions with the actual outcome of the election, there's no question about the real value and full potential of SWAMMER.

Compared to other prediction tools and surveys:

• SWAMMER was the most accurate tool of them all. The average differences between SWAMMER's predictions and the election results were around 1.16% and 0.35% if not taking into account results for the ADQ (The ADQ party took every political analyst and polling firm by surprise with more than 30% of the votes).
  
  
• The maximum difference between SWAMMER and the elections results were of only 0.5% 4 times out of 5.

In the end, SWAMMER was the most accurate prediction tool. SWAMMER proved that there is a correlation between the visibility of political parties on the Web and elections results. Consequently, quantitative media coverage has become a reliable gauge of public opinion.

Must it be repeated that it is the third time that SWAMMER , thanks to its scientific methodology, is able to predict accurately election results (Quebec City Municipal Elections - 2006; Canadian Federal Elections - 2006).

Henceforth, the Internet has to be considered as THE influential source of information. Moreover, it is possible, even crucial, to monitor and analyse the Internet in order to find opinions and identify political trends that shapes in votes.

The Internet shapes and reflects public opinions and SWAMMER is analysing it in real-time !
