Renowned statistician Nate Silver warned Friday that new polling could indicate trouble for Hillary Clinton as the 2016 race for the White House enters its final days.
Theres been a potential breach of Hillary Clintons electoral firewall, Silver wrote on his data-journalism publication, FiveThirtyEight.
Silver was referring to the so-called blue wall states that have reliably voted for Democrats in the past several election cycles and other states which have solidly been in Clintons court throughout the cycle.
Specifically, Silver pointed to New Hampshire where polls have increasingly narrowed. Three polls released on Thursday showed Donald Trump at least tied with Clinton in the Granite State.
If Clinton lost New Hampshire but won her other firewall states, each candidate would finish with 269 electoral votes, taking the election to the House of Representatives, he noted.

Silver is a moron - and he thinks Trump is only 36% of winning??
Hears a tip, Silver - Trump is taking PA, MI and probably WI and MN too.

Maine’s 2nd District is solidly in the “R” camp. It’s the twats down Portland way who are in Lalaland.

“Renowned statistician”... well, hardly.
But he has been near the top of a poor bunch of electoral forecasters this year.
