PoliticIt is a software company located in northern Utah. It launched its website in November, 2011. PoliticIt's website was initially designed to gather web content for each major politician running in the United States presidential election, 2012, assess the digital influence each politician has, and assign each politician an "It Score" which measures digital influence. Since its launch, PoliticIt has expanded its services to cover gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional candidates in all 50 U.S. states after initially producing scores for Utah politicians. PoliticIt predicted more than 480 such races in 2012 with more than 91 percent accuracy. On PoliticIt.com, each candidate has a profile that contains background information, social network feeds, and local news. PoliticIt produced It Scores for the United States presidential election, 2012 that indicated Barack Obama would win on Election Day. == History == The launch of PoliticIt.com allowed website users to evaluate how presidential candidates were performing against each other in their campaign efforts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wn.com/PoliticIt_on_UPR )〕 After the launch of the PoliticIt website in November, 2011, PoliticIt began developing It Scores for congressional, senatorial, and gubernatorial candidates for each of the 50 U.S. states. Members of the PoliticIt team also began programming an iPhone game entitled "Race for the White House." PoliticIt began seeing media attention after it accurately predicted each of the congressional, gubernatorial, and senatorial races in Utah at both the Republican and Democrat state conventions.〔 By May, 2012, PoliticIt had predicted unofficial primary election results in North Carolina, Indiana, Wisconsin, and West Virginia with 87% accuracy by using the It Score. PoliticIt has been featured in news articles and news outlets including GigaOM, Yahoo! Finance, CNBC, MarketWatch, Independent Voter Network, and Utah Public Radio KUSU-FM about its predictive capabilities.〔 PoliticIt continued to track state primary races throughout the U.S. through 2012. By August, 2012, PoliticIt had correctly predicted more than 200 races with a continued approximate 87 percent accuracy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/8/prweb9786365.htm )〕 PoliticIt left on a national tour in a 34-foot Motorhome on August 17, 2012 where it invited and interviewed every congressional, gubernatorial, and U.S. senate candidate in the Contiguous United States who agreed to meet with them. PoliticIt met with more than 200 candidates and produced video interviews which were shared on its YouTube channel in an attempt to create greater political transparency. PoliticIt visited each state in the Contiguous United States conducting these interviews between August 17, 2012 and election day, November 6, 2012. The PoliticIt Mobile bus travelled more than 18,000 miles on the trip. Prior to the 2012 elections on November 6, PoliticIt produced It Scores for nearly all U.S. Senate, congressional, and gubernatorial races.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://politicit.blogspot.com/2012/11/politicits-national-and-state.html )〕 PoliticIt's It Scores were approximately 91 percent accurate in predicting the winner of each race it attempted to predict.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2012/11/08/college-students-used-online-buzz-predict-every-political-race-country-including-obamas-b )〕 In the U.S. presidential race, Barack Obama had an It Score of 49 on November 5, 2012, and Mitt Romney had an It Score of 48.〔 Barack Obama went on to win 50.85 percent of the popular vote and 332 electoral votes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results for the November 2012 General Election )〕 Barack Obama needed 270 votes to win.
