When you (or someone else, not sure who it was) posted this dramatic news that she was down to 65% chance of winning, all I thought was, "Damn, 65% is still a whole lot".
Yeah, she was always a favorite, I think maybe she got as low as 60%. 60% vs 75% is still an enormous difference, though. (Intuitively, it seems more significant when you compare Trump's 40% to 25%)
I am thinking part of the drop had to do with concerns about Clinton's health and the possibility she would have to drop out, and her strong debate performance eased those qualms.
