David Shor

[2] He serves as head of data science with Blue Rose Research[1] in New York City,[3] and is a senior fellow with the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

[10] Shor joined the Barack Obama 2012 presidential campaign at the age of 20,[11] working on the Chicago-based team that tracked internal and external polls and developed forecasts.

[12] The team Shor worked with developed a polling forecasting model, known as "The Golden Report",[13] that projected Obama's vote share within one percentage point in eight of the nine battleground states.

[18] On May 28, 2020, Shor tweeted a summary of an academic study by Omar Wasow, a black political scientist at Princeton University, that argued riots following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination likely tipped the 1968 presidential election in Richard Nixon's favor.

[25] Since 2020, his work at Blue Rose Research aims to develop a data-based model to predict the outcome of future elections on the basis of simulations, designed in particular to advise the Democratic Party in campaign strategies.
