Nate Silver Says Harris Now Has Slight Advantage Over Trump
Nate Silver Says Harris Now Has Slight Advantage Over Trump
Harris has now taken a slight lead against Trump ahead of the presidential election in November, according to data published by Silver’s Substack on Sunday.
Actually, Silver says it’s basically a toss up.
Turn out, bring your friends, and if you see some voter suppression bullshit, call it out.
help people register! know any deadlines
I've been watching the model and the polling and it's just been pure improvement the entire way for her. She came from behind in the models and polling. So to be a toss up is a massive improvement.
None of us should ever take these seriously. We need to encourage people to vote as though our lives depend on it (because, in some ways, they do)
Fox News hasn't had time to thoroughly work her over yet.
I thought everyone hated and didnt trust Nate Silver? Or was that because of cult of personality politics?
Silver has increasingly followed the money and begun leaning further and further to the right
His politics have moved to the right but I haven’t seen any evidence it’s affecting his predictions yet. We’ll see.
If his predictions start landing consistently to the right of reality then that's just another data point. The modelling world is fun like that.
Nate Silver's polling has been wrong before and it will be wrong again.
He's wrong very frequently. He had a couple amazing parlays and people think he has some special sauce.
People who say this don't ever really back this up. Nate Silver has pretty consistently maintained >90% accuracy across not just presidential races but primaries, gubernatorial, and congressional races. Ultimately thousands of races. Remember, he his probability != a prediction. Just because someone has 70-30 odds doesn't mean they win 100% of the time. It means if that race was run 100,000 times, 30,000 times would be a loss. Accuracy can be determined by grouping a sample of such 70-30 races to see if they follow that trend. Lo and behold, Nate's algorithm generally does.
Obviously events change and predictions cannot rapidly factor in, say, Comey's October Surprise...but in this era of absurdity, I'm not sure we really have any more shocking surprises that can top what we've already seen and know.
These are good markers to see how messaging and strategy for each side is working and whether a change needs to happen. It should have zero bearing on voting which everyone should do whether you're winning in a landslide or not.
