2010 U.S. Midterm Election Predictions

by William Stickevers
November 1, 2010

The following are astrologically derived predictions using polling and prediction market data. From October 1st-31st, 2010, I posted my predictive results for each race on my Facebook page and finally posted them on my website on November 1st, 2010. Each of the contest horary charts can be viewed on Facebook and will be posted on this website shortly.

Gubernatorial Race

Voters will elect governors in 37 states this November. Nineteen of those governorships are now held by Democrats, while Republicans sit in the governor’s chair in 18 of the states.

Ten states are currently viewed as Toss-Ups. The Toss-Up states are California, Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin, Maryland, Ohio, Minnesota, Connecticut, Oregon, Colorado, and Vermont. Using polling and prediction market data in conjunction with horary astrology we will forecast the 2010 gubernatorial winners for each Toss-Up state.
