1. The polls won't have reflected the Atlantic article disaster yet.

Wait a few days for that shit to hit the fan.

[dchill]

2. Even so, what is this country's excuse?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That anybody voted for that clown for any reason will always baffle me.

4. Thanks Velveteen.......I always respect your posts, and opinions.

and you’re right.....will wait a couple of days to see how much the orange piece of shit falls in the polls.

5. I don't buy anything from 538 anymore. Look at what he did during the dem primaries

[Squinch]

6. I wasn't following his coverage of the primaries. What did he do?

Please tell me so I feel better about his "trump approval" graph that shows approval going up fast, against ALL logic.

8. After the first caucus nights in IA & NH 538 said that sanders would win 49 states

Despite the fact that sanders vote take was down 15% from 16, and the youth vote that silver and sanders said would bring him a win never materialized

More about his polling, 94 lack of at the link

10. Thank you. I feel better. But, seriously? He fell for that youth vote Lucy football? Wow.

[Thekaspervote]

11. Yes! People think silver is a dem..he is not! A self ascribed libertarian

Look at the link to common dreams I mentioned. It’s fair, but pretty much lays out what he’s doing.

A really good poll aggregator, much better than 538 is the economist

[Squinch]

13. Thank you. I'll check it out.

7. Nope. At worst it is a tie via the electoral college. Cook currently shows Biden leading in the

electoral college, and that is before the Atlantic article

I suspect they are using 2016 models, which is not applicable

According to recent polls most of those who voted for Jill Stein will be voting for Biden, and I suspect that applies to the 47% who didn’t vote in 2016

Just looking at polls in the battle ground states Biden/Harris have an edge

As long as we register people at get the vote out by encouraging people to vote early, and by mail if possible we will win

9. Thank you...voice of sanity

[TrumpVirus]

14. I agree...

So much has changed since 2016 that those models aren't worth much today.

12. "The reason Trump has a 30% chance and not a 15% chance, or 10% chance..."

... is because of the Electoral College." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=8m5s&v=T7XcqSv6YSQ )

"There are scenarios where Biden could win the popular vote by four and a half points and still lose the Electoral College..." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=9m26s&v=T7XcqSv6YSQ )

6-7 points: 99%

Strange that people think the Electoral College works in Trump's favor – in 2016 he lost the popular vote by 2.1 points, yet somehow received more votes in the Electoral College.

Biden is favored to win the election

Biden wins 71 in 100
Trump wins 29 in 100
