This website is clearly pushing an agenda. If you actually read the whitepaper they are quoting, there is no such thing:
> PredictWise targeted Republicans who scored high on our measure of Covid-19 decree violation (folks who were on the go more often than their neighbors) and Republicans who scored low on our measure of Covid-19 decree violation (folks who mostly or always stayed at home) in the swing state, Ohio, and asked survey questions.
The dataset is entirely based on people who took a mobile survey. They than used that to generate a "model" that took a best guess on an advertising data set. They then claimed that they got 40k successful advertising conversions for their ads. How cute.
Even if you don't like ad tracking, this is a ton of hyperbole. They may as well be giving you a score about how much you like chocolate chips based on your age and location.
