CBC: AI predicts Hillary winning with a 3% margin, as opposed to the 6% margin most of the pollsters are giving her.
This was on the radio here this morning (because it's a local company). The interviewee mentioned that the AI is looking at what people are posting on social media, and that's believed to be a more accurate indicator than asking people who they support. That makes sense to me: who's going to give a politically-incorrect answer to a stranger when asked something, and who's going to share what they really believe on their own Twitter/Facebook/etc. accounts?

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
