This is terrible news. Nate was so accurate in 2016:


I'm sure you are looking at the top percentage numbers, but if you look at the map, it's actually almost spot on.

The popular vote broke almost exactly as predicted

He missed on 4 states, but they were arguably the 4 biggest: WI,NC,FL,PA

Of the 4 he missed, NC and FL where shaded the lightest blue, which indicated basically a 50/50 tossup to Hillary

From an EC standpoint the victory was a landslide in 2016, but that came with razor thin margins in some key states

It wasn't, though - Trump only beat Hillary by a mere 74 electors. That's historically a very narrow outcome. Bush Sr., Clinton and Obama all won their elections by a considerably greater margin than that. Reagan won his two elections by margins of over 400+ and 500+ electors, respectively.
