“The strongest predictor of whether you are a Trump supporter is not ideology, religiosity, or gender, although each has some correlation. It is instead education: The more formal education you have, the less likely you are to back Trump.” (from an interview with Henry Olsen in the Washington Post, December 9, 2015).

After Iowa, and on the eve of the New Hampshire primaries ... Following the U.S. election is even more confusing with 14 candidates (of which 7 or 8 can be considered serious) in the Republican field. The Democrat side may be a little clearer with Hillary Clinton as the frontrunner, but Bernie Sanders is still hanging on. So what is going to happen in the early primaries? American author and political expert, Henry Olsen, known for his groundbreaking work for the American Enterprise Institute and now the Ethics and Public Policy Center, will be explaining the latest wrinkles of the primary system, and how changing voter demographics are going to affect the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.

Henry Olsen is a frequent commentator on U.S. politics across a number of media outlets. He has launched a new blog at National Review Online offering a “data-based look at the race for the Republican presidential nomination.” Currently a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, he most recently served from 2006 to 2013 as Vice President and Director, National Research Initiative, at the American Enterprise Institute. He previously worked as Vice President of Programs at the Manhattan Institute and President of the Commonwealth Foundation.
