Segment and target voters with predictive analytics
Political consulting organizations, such as Strategic Telemetry and The Southern Political Information Network, are relying on SPSS' predictive analytics software to find voters most likely to support a candidate and to reach the undecided "swing vote." By analyzing data, creating models, and scoring demographic and behavioral data—along with attitudes and opinions—campaign strategists can better persuade voters by providing them with key messages on the issues they care about most. Campaign workers may communicate these crucial key messages through targeted and personalized direct mailings, phone calls, or door-to-door canvassing.
Discover how SPSS' predictive analytics solutions help political organizations connect with voters.
