The Public Echoes of Rhetoric in America (PEORIA) Project
People have measured the polls. People have measured the fundraising figures. But no one has measured the words and messages candidates use… until now.
The Graduate School of Political Management has launched the Public Echoes Of Rhetoric In America (PEORIA) Project, which seeks to quantify how voters react to campaign messages.
Through the PEORIA Project, the public will learn, for the first time, the main channels through which presidential aspirants’ messages reach the electorate; how those messages are being received and passed on through individuals’ personal networks; and who is getting the most “mainstream” and “social” media traction.

The newest initiative from the PEORIA Project utilizes a one-of-a-kind projection model to predict the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election.
