Here is the current Nate Silver (fivethirtyeight.com) "If the Election Were Held Today Projection". Nice.

Nate Silver is updating his special sauce.

He said Trump could never win and now he’s saying its a very close election.

Hillary’s once unassailable double-digit lead has melted away like snow in July.

The Left is stunned and that’s saying it mildly.

It will be a clean sweep for TRUMP.

Thanks, restarted browser and now I’m seeing the updates.

I don’t place much faith in Silver, but I’m sure this has got to be demoralizing to the left.

This is a far cry from what he was saying months and months ago. Plus, most of these polls are still not post convention numbers.

Trailing in Colorado? That’s a surprise. So is Virginia.

I loathe this little liberal slime.

But...he hasn’t been wrong with the numbers yet in general elections.

A dramatic turnaround from Silver’s statement in June predicting Hillary had a 67% chance to win.

Wow.... I’ve been record as predicting a Hillary win and if the numbers hold up - the new CW may get every one on board.

Poor Hillary is already battling the Trump train, looking like a loser going to her convention.

That never happened with Gore, Kerry or Obama. But its happening to Hillary.

Talk about a seismic shift in the political landscape.

Considering Hillary's support is falling apart in a party known for its uniformity (like a mafia), shows how bad her chances are.

Any chance she will not get her party’s nomination?

Wasn't Nate Silver's "538" or whatever he calls it saying for months that Trump had very low odds of winning?

This is why I don't pay much attention to pollsters early on. They can say and predict whatever they want with no consequence whatsoever. All they have to do is bring their predictions in line with reality as the election gets closer and they can claim that they were "accurate."

In the meantime, they get to manipulate voters and demoralize them as much as they can.

Wikileaks is beautiful. It will continually undermine the MSM’s attempts to derail Trump.

She’s carrying very few swing states and VA and CO are inside the margin of error.

WI and MI are on the bubble for Blue States and she only has big leads in NY, IL and CA.

Rest of nation is solid or leaning Trump.
