The difference between the predicted vote totals of the two candidates is well within the model's margin of error, which means that statistically speaking the model is predicting a dead heat.
Taking into account these two factors not only improves our model's explanatory power to ~93% of the differences in election results since 1952 (and 80% since 1924), but it also improves Obama's predicted vote percentage to slightly less than 49%, given the expected improvement of the economy.
In the end, to examine the voting prediction performance of HMMs, the real vote intention of each user in the test set was compared to their predicted vote intention (the party id of the party in which they were classified) and an overall score of how well the algorithm performed was calculated.

Gender of voter also affected the types of facial inferences that predicted voting preferences (see Table 2).
Taking both gender of the voter and gender of candidate into account again yielded divergent types of facial inferences that predicted voting (see Table 2).
However, the keys were not designed to predict vote percentages.
The overall performance of the HMM classifier in predicting vote intention in SVAAs is very satisfactory (see the aggregate results of HMMs obtained in each one of the datasets in Tables 5-7).
The model is predicting vote share proportions for each candidate, so we need information on how elections have turned out in the past.
The model is predicting vote share proportions for each candidate, so we need information on how vote proportions have been distributed in the past that is based on some criteria that we can apply to this year's races.
