News Pattern 2012 Radar Predicts that Candidate Perry Will Soon Lead Presidential Polling

Earlier this week, we made the call that candidate Perry would soon lead the GOP pack in regard to 2012 presidential (primary) polling.  Almost simultaneously with our prediction, a Rasmussen poll announced these results:

GOP Primary: Perry 29%, Romney 18%, Bachmann 13%

These results were a pick-up of 11 % points for Perry; -4 % points for Romney; and -3 % points for Bachmann.

Our 2012 News Radar, also correlates well with the first, second, third, etc. positions of the candidates.

We made our prediction based on these observable news patterns:

* Perry news topic became the candidate topic closest to 2012 news radar center

* Perry topic was the candidate topic most connected to the Conservative topic in an election where the idea of Conservative is the primary opposing topic against the Obama topic.

* Perry topic displaced other candidate topics that were closer to the radar center (Romney topic)

* Perry topic generated the most and strongest connections among other 2012 candidate and issue topics.


These disruptive patterns have been forming over many weeks, and became dominating at the start of this week, in spite of Perry not participating in Iowa straw-polling, and much of national media buzz being about Bachmann winning the Iowa straw poll.


Chalk another one up to the power of discovering patterns from the swarm intelligence from thousands of news content creators.
