Ok so the correlation coefficient for vote share is .048, meaning the R squared or explained variance is .0028 i.e. around three percent. No, monkeys cannot predict vote share.
That said, for a paper with such an obvious bullshit design the text itself is not that bad, at least they seriously investigate the facial features that seem to be relevant to these cases.
If you must remember this paper (please don’t), do it as “monkey ganze is a better predictor for election races in the US than a coin throw”.
