Yes, I realize there are other examples; unfortunately, the one people most recognize is the “Bradley Effect” — due to media use, I’m sure. Still, thanks for the input.

In that election there was also an anti gun initiative on the ballot that Bradley came out in support of late in the campaign. The initiative went down big and with it Bradley. There was a huge turn out push to defeat the initiative with turnout over 90% in rural counties throughout Ca. Bradley himself blamed his loss on his support for the initiative. James Taranto posted a lengthy email a few weeks ago from a GOP insider that was working for Deukmejian during that campaign that explains it well. There are examples though that support the theory better than this one notably this years Dem primary in NH where Hillary pulled out a win after Obama was by as many as ten in the polls leading into it.
