Right before the 2016 presidential election, on November 7th, Fivethirtyeight estimated that Hillary Clinton had a 67% chance of winning the election. Yet, Donald Trump crushed Hillary.
Today, Fivethirtyeight thinks Biden has an 87% chance of winning the election. An almost slam dunk case. I disagree.

This is pretty interesting and I'm shocked it was on Yahoo....

I remember that number being much higher from 538 on election day.
See my posts today about our Massive Truck Rally in Pleasanton, California which is Liberal La La Land...

Because after all, she was ‘born to be president’, born to be the first female president, she was -oh never mind- she isn’t and that’s all that matters lol =)
71.4% TO 28.6%

Hillary was a no-brainer to win by a landslide:

Time Magazine said so.
So did many of my fellow employees.
(I knew they were clueless, but I kept my big mouth shut. You can’t fix stupid, and I had no interest in trying...:-) )
The author’s bias is screaming.
He thinks Trump is corrupt and Biden blameless.
And yet, he admits the polls are wrong and Trump is winning in the battle ground states.
He sees the enthusiasm for Trump and lack thereof for Biden.
currently, OR, NM, CO, NH are in play. By the end of the week likely NJ will be in play.
The momentum is all Trump.
“Donald Trump is a controversial figure. He doesn’t come across as a nice person towards his opponents. Hi lies, he cheats, he plays dirty to win. That’s why some Trump supporters don’t feel comfortable admitting to anyone that they support Trump.”
This guy has no idea.
It’ll be a Trump victory blowout...A big win. The Democrats are about to get their political asses kicked.
RE: Trump Will Deliver Stunning Upset
An Upset is when someone is REALLY expected to lose. A Biden win would be an upset in my opinion. A Trump win is the expected result.
No, 538 was effectively that on Election Day.
Other media was 85-95% in favor of Hillary.
Make sure that you get all of your buddies to vote for Trump. Even if Trump doesn't win California, getting his vote totals up in deep Blue states will kill off the "he lost the popular vote" crap.
Well, I live here in NJ and as I wrote to another freeper last week, I’d honestly be shocked - totally flabbergasted - if Trump even made NJ close.
Other than Somerset and Hunterdon counties - and the shore counties where no major population centers are, Trump won’t be competitive.
Newark, Union, Elizabeth, Paterson, Camden, Jersey City.... All Democrat land.
“...even though Trump has numerous corruption “incidences” under his belt, the media is obsessed about Hunter Biden’s laptop 9 days before the election.”
What planet is this guy from?
Then their(Dem) side is prepping the sheep for disappointment.

I worry about the enthusiasm. Sure there’s plenty for Trump, no doubt, and there’s none for Biden, can’t argue. But there’s a lot of enthusiasm to oust Trump. So while there’s no interest in attending a rally, I think there’ll be energy at the polls.
They’re only characterizing it as an “upset” because their bogus polls have had Biden way ahead. An “upset” based on fake numbers.
EVERYTHING on the Left these days is a complete fake.
Do you think Biden is doing better in NJ than Hillary did in 2016?
