I am not making any prediction, but if people believe Biden will win, now is the time to put down bets. You can pull in some cash.

538 takes all the polls where trump is leading (state and national) and then "adds" the 538 "correction factor"

Tempted to bet the house on Biden. If he is the candidate I have no doubt they will find a way to steal it.

Prepare for it, seriously. It won't surprise me 1 bit and everyone will be so confused.

538 uses the same stuff that Lichtman uses… incumbency advantagement, economic outlook, etc… They also pick & choose what polls to use & then “weight” them.

538 is a scam. Only delusional leftist like 538

Wouldn’t be surprised - A ton of people would rather pick a dead Biden than a love Trump - his VP pick will determine if he wins

They might be doing it just for the clicks. It's honestly not a bad strategy.

100% a business move. Deranged leftists want to believe Biden is winning. So of course they will suscribe to a site that caters to their narrative

And yet if you go to Project 538, and apply the polls from each individual state onto the 270 To Win map, you come up with Trump winning with 319 EVs

It’s becoming apparent Biden will be the nominee.



Agreed. I think they played their hand to force Biden to drop out, and it isn't working. Dr Jill is not letting him do that. Now they have to cook the polls and set the narrative to try and keep it close enough to steal.

Nate Silver doesn't run 538 anymore



This for real? Is he not a part of it at all, or does he just not run it? I'm fully expecting him to start pushing the Biden to win narrative before long
