This is an election forecast widget. We build a widget that shows the forecast of who will win the US Presidential Election 2020. We use the data from fivethirtyeight.com and automatically update the widget, so you don't have to look up online how the needle is moving. We show not the current polls but the likelihood of who will win based on a number of indicators like state polling. Placed on the home screen, you can get the latest numbers by pressing anywhere on the widget.
The app includes:
• A widget that shows you the current numbers
• Automatic Updates every 30 Minutes
• Update by click
This is the first version of the app. Many thanks to the colleagues of fivethirtyeight for making their data publicly available. The data shows the latest US Presidential Election Forecasts. With this widget, we hope to make a small contribution to the visibility and access of data. Please use the comment section of the play store to send us any kind of feedback.
