    now show what he had the odds at on election day
    Like I said, they tighten it after the narrative has been consistently supplied for the media.

    It's submission polling / forecasting.

    Yea, they always tighten it to hedge on their potential humiliation.

    Like I said, I should've made this poll two months ago; Chumpettes would've been doing cartwheels.

    No, it tightened because Hillary had a ty final 2 weeks.

    Now post Biden's and see if there's a difference.

    they tightened it up after the Comey letter and after the polls showed a tightening race.

    Did Silver tighten the odds up at all this year? By your logic he would have.

    Good.
    So show an analysis of this from a source that has some sort of method other than watch you tubes and reading his alt right tweets.

    Supply your link of the media complicity and methods.
    I dare you. You wont.
    Supply your "Silver", you wont because you will get laughed at.

    Newsflash, you are already laughed at because all your calculations are fairy tales in your tiny head.

    Combination of Comey and the natural tightening that occurs. The former hurt more, obviously.

    This cycle hasn't seem either. Keep taking your Ls.

    Comey letter and a mediocre 3rd debate performance. Trump was also much better at staying on message in 2016 than she was.

    This year not so much. The Trump War Room is on Twitter 24 hours before the election talking about Lady Gaga.

    So, it was 9/10 for Hillary and now Biden 9/10 chance.

    You agree that Nate's a hack if Joe doesn't win?

    So Hunter's worse laptop and 8-92 debate performance not any different this time around? Biden has a hard time even presenting a message.

    You guys don't bother to make sense.

    I’m Here To Remind You That Trump Can Still Win
    A 10 percent chance isn’t zero. And there’s a chance of a recount, too.
    By Nate Silver

    It’s tempting to write this story in the form of narrative fiction: “On a frigid early December morning in Washington, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that disputed mail ballots in Pennsylvania—” You know, that kind of thing. But given the stakes in this election, I think it’s important to be prosaic and sober-minded instead.

    Before we proceed further, a short philosophical note. I hate it when people use phrases — to be fair, we often use phrases like these ourselves! — such as “Nate Silver is giving Biden a 90 percent chance” or “FiveThirtyEight still gives Trump a 10 percent chance.” We aren’t giving anybody anything. Instead, as former FiveThirtyEight politics host Jody Avirgan puts it, what we’re doing is “mapping uncertainty.” In other words, if Biden leads by about 9 points in national polls, 8 points in Wisconsin, 5 points in Pennsylvania, 2 points in Florida, etc., how does that translate into a probability of victory? That’s what our model is trying to figure out.

    And indeed — although nobody needs any reminders of this after 2016 — Trump can win. All the election models are bullish on Biden, but they are united in that a Trump win is still plausible despite his seemingly steep deficit in polls.

    A huge part of why our model and others’ think Trump can still win is the Electoral College. Trump has only a 3 percent chance of winning the popular vote in our model. Other models put his chances at less than 1 percent. It’s very likely that Democrats will win the popular vote for the seventh time in the last eight elections.
