It sounds like Nate Silver is already playing CYA so he doesn't get laughed at like he did in 2016 when he gave Hillary a 78% chance of victory on election day.

To be fair though he has been one of the few on the left that have come right out told democrats not to celebrate too soon because Presidential election polling is pretty much useless until mid October when the vast majority of the electorate finally starts paying attention. In fact he said this just a couple weeks ago:

When my democrat friends excitedly ask me if the campaign is over, I tell them "No. Because it hasn't even really begun, and won't until after the conventions."

What's funny is Nate Silver (as leftist as they come) is getting absolutely savaged by the left on Twitter right now for not towing the party line and saying, "IT'S BIDEN IN A 50 STATE LANDSLIDE! ELECTION IS OVER!" I read through some of the comments, he's being called everything from a Trump shill to a white elitist, to a moron who doesn't know anything about polling or elections.

Almost feel a bit sorry for him...almost. He's basically doing his job and covering his bases so he doesn't get embarrassed like in 2016 when he said Hillary would win easily and she didn't. But now he's getting "cancelled" by the left for not parroting the correct propaganda.

To Silver’s credit, the 78% figure he gave for the probability of a Clinton victory in 2016 was the lowest number I saw in the media at the time — by far.
