According to half a dozen political scientists who have honed and polished the art of election forecasting, the die is all but cast. Today, with 165 days left before Americans go to the polls, they are saying Gore will win 53 to 60 percent of the vote cast for him and George W. Bush. Although Bush's pollster finds fault with these forecasts, these academic prognosticators have a startlingly good record predicting election results months in advance. The fact that opinion polls today give Bush a modest lead over Gore doesn't faze them. Polls this early in the campaign "just have a relatively low correlation with the fall vote," said Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution, who has written about election forecasting. The forecasters have a better record, Mann added. >> Since Gore is running against a guy who wouldn't be left in charge of a gas station if he was anyone but the scion of the Bush family, he shouldn't really brag about the win.
