Daily Kos (a pro-Democratic but, if anything, rather impressively pessimistic outlet

Those guys must feel sick...

Honestly, I think the EC is already gone for Cankles. Today’s CO, NV, OH polls prove it. I think the real question is, “How big will Trump’s victory be?”

but also in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, and Ohio. Add all that up with the states everyone expects Trump to carry and he’s at 259 electoral votes.

I'm not sure what their map looks like, but that'd be 265...

OK so pessimistic means favorable to Trump, so that's a good thing. Had to read that twice and apply my biased media translator.

Trump had 233 EV on 538 this morning. Just three states like OH, NC, and FL would put him over 270.

Better tell Krauthammer, Larry Sabato, everyone at CNN and WaPo, and a few thousand other talking heads...

I thought Trump still trailed in CO. If he gets CO, along with FL and OH, I would think it’s a solid bet he would win.

Just to see the look on Cher, Amy Schumer, Barbara Streisand, Joyless Behar, Rob Reiner, and all the rest of the Commie libs face when they see that Trump is President..I wonder, will they leave the US like they promised

Nate Silver (pinhead) at 538 just moved OH and NC to Trump.

Hmmm, I don't see Trump having 233 without at least one of those states. You sure you're not double counting at least one of them?

"As the popular-vote margin separating Clinton and Trump gradually shrinks, "

If the current rate of change in the polls continues at the present pace, Trump will get over 300 EVs.

Self-medicating may be in order for these folks.

I'm sure they will manage to keep finding some polls favoring Hillary (internals: 50% Democrat, 35% independent, 15% Republican).

Pretty good except for including wacko two week old polls in the rolling average.
