Honestly, what's more surprising to me is that the NYT needle now shows GA to tilt strongly toward Trump, and predicts the final vote margin to be R+5. I would have predicted a far worse performance for Republicans in that state.
It's an early prediction based on just 15% of the estimated votes, but still...

Biden seems to be doing better in Ohio. Would be hilarious if Biden loses FLORIDA but wins fucking OHIO. Ohio is where rust belt white trash heroin addicts like Skinned live!


It would validate choosing Biden, for sure. He polled strongest in the rust belt of all of the Dem contenders.

Nate Silver is a genius statistician and the nostradamus of our times. His predictions are accurate and unfailing and have never been wrong.

It speaks to how hard Trump support specifically is to poll than anything else imo.

i think their election site is incredible. I have their site up on monitor, Reuters on another, and faux biz (lame, but better than the other major networks and their affiliates) on the tv
