American political data scientist (born 1991)
This article is about the American political consultant. For the television writer, see
David Shore .
David Shor (born 1991)[1] is an American data scientist and political consultant known for analyzing political polls.[2] He serves as head of data science with Blue Rose Research[1] in New York City ,[3] and is a senior fellow with the Center for American Progress Action Fund.[4] Shor describes himself as a socialist and advised a number of liberal political action committees during the 2020 United States elections .[5] [6]
Early life
[ edit ]
Shor grew up in Miami , Florida , in a Sephardic Jewish family.[7] He holds a mathematics degree from Florida International University .[8] Shor was a precocious child and gifted in mathematics, starting his undergraduate degree at the age of 13 and finishing at the age of 17.[9] Shor was awarded the Math in Moscow scholarship in fall 2009.[10]
Career
[ edit ]
Shor joined the Barack Obama 2012 presidential campaign at the age of 20,[11] working on the Chicago -based team that tracked internal and external polls and developed forecasts.[12] The team Shor worked with developed a polling forecasting model, known as "The Golden Report",[13] that projected Obama's vote share within one percentage point in eight of the nine battleground states .[14] New York Magazine described Shor as the "in-house Nate Silver " of the Obama campaign.[5] [15]

Post-MLK-assasination [sic ] race riots reduced Democratic vote share in surrounding counties by 2%, which was enough to tip the 1968 election to Nixon. Non-violent protests *increase* Dem vote, mainly by encouraging warm elite discourse and media coverage. http://omarwasow.com/Protests_on_Voting.pdf
May 28, 2020
Shor then worked as a senior data scientist with Civis Analytics in Chicago[9] for seven years,[17] where he operated the company's web-based survey.[18] On May 28, 2020, Shor tweeted a summary of an academic study by Omar Wasow , a black political scientist at Princeton University , that argued riots following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination likely tipped the 1968 presidential election in Richard Nixon 's favor.[19] Some critics argued that Shor's tweet, which was posted during the height of the George Floyd protests , could be interpreted as criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement.[20] Jonathan Chait wrote in New York Magazine that "At least some employees and clients on Civis Analytics complained that Shor’s tweet threatened their safety."[21] Shor apologized for the tweet on May 29, and he was fired from Civis Analytics a few days later.[21]
Shor's firing has been cited as an example of "the excesses of so-called cancel culture ."[22] [23] Political scientist and journalist Yascha Mounk wrote that Shor had been "punished for doing something that most wouldn’t even consider objectionable."[24] Vox editor and columnist Matthew Yglesias condemned the idea『that it’s categorically wrong for a person — or at least a white person — to criticize on tactical or other grounds anything being done in the name of racial justice,』which he claimed was common among Shor's progressive critics.[25]
Since 2020, his work at Blue Rose Research aims to develop a data-based model to predict the outcome of future elections on the basis of simulations, designed in particular to advise the Democratic Party in campaign strategies.[26] Shor is an advocate for what he terms "popularism", the idea that Democrats should campaign on a strategy of focusing on issues that enjoy electoral popularity, such as focusing on economic issues over polarizing social and cultural issues.[26] [27] Some political analysts, including Michael Podhorzer , have criticized his work for a lack of transparency regarding his methods and data sources.[26]
