Right before the 2016 presidential election, on November 7th, Fivethirtyeight estimated that Hillary Clinton had a 67% chance of winning the election

I remember that number being much higher from 538 on election day.

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...:-) )

No, 538 was effectively that on Election Day.

Other media was 85-95% in favor of Hillary.

I watched some website that had odds of winning percentages updating constantly in real time and she started in the high 90s.

Around 11pm, he hit 50% and it snowballed from there.

I don’t EVER remember her odds being that low.

I think it was closer to 83%, but 538 gave him much better odds than most places.

[MinorityRepublican]

You were probably thinking of New York Times who gave Hillary 90% chance of winning.

[Rocko Jack]

Yes
It was at over 70%

I remember that number being much higher from 538 on election day.

I believe most "experts" predicted Mrs. Bill Clinton had a 90% or more chance of winning.

Is the 538 reference to a predicted 538 Electoral College votes?
