Per silver



The problem with 538 is garbage in garbage out. With poll manipulation that equals 538 manipulation

So basically, he is trying to cover all possibilities and cover his arse?

No, he's trying to explain probability to a math averse general public.

I think he shows a Clinton overall lead, Trump behind a few points, and 12.5% undecided at this point. I would assume that's why he's explaining the uncertainty of the undecided vote. A CYA moment for sure.

Undecideds favor folks who didn't want to admit to voting for "literally Hitler". Trump MAGAs this.

Nah, Nate's saving grace is that he lives by the polls and dies by the polls. If Trump wins, he can simply point to turnout, undecideds, margin of error, etc. in polls to explain it away.

i mean yes, but his model has a lot of things built into it. if it looks like hillary cruises to victory and PEC or upshot looks better, he looks bad.

Crawfishing?
His tweet corresponds exactly to 538. Hillary with a two thirds or 67% chance of winning.
