The New York Times states in their polls that there is 45% for Rouda, 45% for Rohrbacher, and 10% undecided. With this poll in mind, we decided to predict Rohrbacher would win not only because he is the incumbent, but also because the California 48th is a mainly Republican part of the state. We believe that Rohrbacher will also win the election because he has been in the House since 1989, showing that he has a lot more experience than Rouda. Even though Rohrbacher’s views on cooperation with Russia are opinionated and have shown to hurt candidates in past election, this part of the state is actually fond of his ideals especially with Trump in office. Also with Orange County being one of the wealthiest parts of the country, Rohrbacher’s republican views will help the majority of the population. Our prediction reflects the evidence because even with a close-race, Rohrbacher will win the race because of his experience and connection to California 48th.]]> 2018-11-09 19:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/302733928 Who will win?

    - California is a democrat heavy state. Nearly every presidential election, the democrats have taken the electoral votes of the state of California. After the recent presidential election, Hilary Clinton was carried in this area. Though they are mainly Republican, the fact Hilary won this district shown a pre-read that the HoR results to be Democratic as well. Rohrbacher was losing favorability in the district as his time in office continued. This area has always generated HoR that are republican, but with recent controversy, the district looked for a switch of the party. ]]>     2018-11-12 15:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/303309124     Pre-election polls 20sudanos https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304583141 2018-11-14 22:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304583141 Pre-election polls 20sudanos https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304583153 2018-11-14 22:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304583153 Election pre-read 20sudanos https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304587097 2018-11-14 23:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304587097 First Debate (media coverage) 20sudanos https://padlet.com/20sudanos/bk9krk4rcwy/wish/304587099 http://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-dpt-me-voc-debate-20181016-story.html
