Silver: Trump Would Win If Election Were Held Today

[UK2K]

Statistics site 538, which is operated by Nate Silver, adjusted its projections ahead of the debate Monday, giving the odds to Republican nominee Donald Trump.

If the election were held today, Trump leads with a 54.9 percent chance of winning the election, according to the site. The win projection stems from Trump winning the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Nevada. The same projection shows Clinton winning Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia.

Clinton had a 92 percent chance of winning in the first week of August, and has been in a steady decline ever since.

Trump gained the national lead in the latest Morning Consult and Bloomberg polls, and took the lead in Colorado, reducing Clinton’s chances of winning that state.

Not that I care about what Nate Silver says, I just thought it was funny that some were parroting his work on here months ago.

We have been on the surge lately but remember this is still before The Debate. Last time Trump said a bunch of crazy shit about how he knows more than our Generals and wants to take all the oil out of the Middle East.

Nate Silver is 99/100 in the past two elections I think.

You dudes will never learn. Before Clinton had a 92% chance of winning, the Donald was up at 538 (somewhere around 55%) for a handful of days following the RNC.

Right now The Donald's "lead" is already gone.

Enjoy the show tonight.

Last time the Clintons were in the oval office:

Yep, it got to be 50.1% for about a day on July 30th, but kinda...

Bruh, you just linked me to the polls-only section. Your OP was about 'who would win today' (AKA Now Cast), under that metric (as I proved to you) the Donald was at 55% following the RNC before his epic collapse.

Either way, Clinton is up by all of Silver's metrics.

Hope you enjoyed the hour or so when the Donald was up.

BTW, Nate Silver has Shillary up 55%-45% chances of winning the election atm.

RCP currently has HC winning FL and taking 292 EVs to 246 if the election were held today.

Obviously the debates can change the dynamic for each candidate...or it could be a wash and this thing goes down the wire.

I hope Trump wins, America deserves this.
