Bradley Effect

The 2008 presidential campaign of B. Hussein Obama, an African American United States Senator, has brought a heightened level of scrutiny to the Bradley effect, as observers searched for signs of the effect in comparing Obama’s polling numbers to the actual election results during the Democratic primary elections. After a victorious showing in the Iowa caucuses, where votes were cast publicly, polls predicted that Obama would also capture the New Hampshire Democratic primary election by a large margin over Hillary Clinton, a white senator. However, Clinton defeated Obama by three points in the New Hampshire race, where ballots were cast secretly, immediately initiating suggestions by some analysts that the Bradley effect may have been at work.
