What a joke. The four bumps to the right are MUCH larger and 538 predicted 338 electoral votes for Biden with an 89% chance of winning.
RCP and trafalgar did a better job than 538.
What's wit your blood vendetta against 538? First, Trafalgar predicted a Trump win. You're arguing the spread is more important than the super bowl win. Second, RCP does zero analysis. They are just aggregating and averaging.

i don't know how many times nate had to quantify with "now, trump can still very well win the election, and here's how" and people keep complaining that he didn't get it exactly right.

You see the bump in that picture on the right? You saw the prediction of 338 EVs? You saw numerous states listed as Biden 95% which were nail biters this election and last? 538 had zero clue what was going to happen this election. Wittes is a joke for sending that tweet.
538 is an interesting outfit that does publish good articles, but their ability to understand the American electorate since trump took the escalator ride from hell is garbage and feeds into trumps fake news narrative.

If you call a state 95% and then win the state by one vote, you were right.

Their job was to characterize the election. Their job was to distinguish for us the good polls vs the bad ones. They were wrong. Again. On a catastrophic level. They could have kept a few thousand voters home in key states.
Let’s just be civil and agree to disagree. I’ll be careful to refrain from replying to your supportive 538 comments, if any.

If people didn't learn anything from staying home in '16, or any other election, than that's on them. Personally, I don't know of anyone who looked at the polls and thought it was in the bag.
EDIT: Original post was unrelated and in wrong thread. I will repost that in the proper one.
I will just say - Nate Silver and 538 is dead. Picking the winner when you're a statistical modeler but being off by 15% is not a win. I mean without doing research, the most likely outcome of this election was Biden winning. An infant could have done that.

I don't think I'm being uncivil. Also I'm neither supportive or critical of him. He's a modeler. I started my career modeling credit risk. The shit is hard and can send you in a million different directions. Sometimes you feel like you're wrong as often as you are right, but what you're trying to do is mitigate the margins of your errors. I think Nate's job is even harder than normal modeling because he's using source data that may be corrupted before he even touches it, which is what he's trying to adjust. It's just an interesting website to me, not an actual crystal ball.

I think this was the biggest problem. I also think Trump supporters lied to pollsters to “own the libs”.

I did not intend to imply you were being uncivil, sorry about that. I think pollsters and modelers need to look at results on a county by county level. Stop with the hundreds of polls each week and look how people vote based on mileage from urban centers and how the historic lean of the state is. Make each poll organic. Put more hard work into it.
This election was extremely similar to 2016 which made sense since Labor Day as trump was winning his covid is BS argument, which told us all we needed to know about insane rural and exurban voters. The economy is the most important issue. That is beyond nuts but that’s what the polls kept saying, neck and neck w covid.
This election was not that difficult. I could not even budge the discussion here (this is no way on you) that it was more of a 60/40 at best and not 86 to 90 for Biden
And thats not mentioning how 538 completely missed on the senate and overestimated the dem control In the house by predicting the Dems would get 21 seats over the majority and will likely end up with only 11. Massive misses everywhere.

The polling you're talking about would be massively expensive. And if you think about it, a campaign isn't going to pay for that. They use polls to determine where to invest their resources, not to predict if they will win and by how much..necessarily. If it's close, within the MOE, that's where they invest.
“If they’re coming after FiveThirtyEight, then the answer is fuck you, we did a good job!” Silver replied, explaining that the only reason former Vice President Joe Biden was considered such a heavy favorite in the site’s closely watched model was because “he could withstand a 2016-style polling error or a bit larger” and still win the election. On the eve of that election, FiveThirtyEight gave Donald Trump a 28.6 percent chance of winning, much higher than other polling aggregators.

Perdue is below 50% for Senate so that race will head to a runoff in January. If you know anyone in GA that needs to register to vote they can do so until December 9th I believe.
Silver is taking a victory lap while Biden is up just under 2.5 points nationally and his model predicted 8.4 in his final post. Its not getting to 5 or 6 like he says, not enough votes left to make that happen.
Biden has a 4 million vote lead in California with only 66% of the count in, so his popular vote lead is likely to increase. However, that number will tell us as little about the nation as a whole as it did in 2016.
