I'm posting this to dance on their error in November! Unfortunately I cannot post their graphics as it is a series of interactive charts w/ 1 hour updates. HOWEVER, here is their November 8th 2016 prediction for Hillary-v-Trump; "Hillary Clinton has got this. Probably. Very probably"

Oh, this British-based Mag was also wrong on BREXIT!
The Economist is a Marxist rag.
Record turnout.
Is anyone’s polling taking this into account?
“the norms” don’t hold.
Record turnout is people rising up to say “hell no” or “hell yeah”
But the polls show neck and neck.
The ECONO-MISSED....................
The Economist has tracked to the left over many years. It used to be pretty good but that was a long time ago.
Is the market sensing a Biden win?
This all is making me very nervous.
Yes, it was once a decent mag, but its prevailing editorial is unacceptable.
Whatever the Deep State is hiding, and wants to keep hidden from the American people, must be so horrendous that they’re going all out to defeat Donald Trump with the use of fake polls, putting a lid on all Biden corruption stories, and putting out puff pieces and op-eds saying Biden has it in the bag to demoralize our side thinking its over. Just like in 2016 they’re about to get another slap in the face, but this time even harder.
I’m worried about this election - yes I suspect Biden has a better than even chance of winning. I know too many people who have spent the last four years buying every single thing the MSM has said about Trump.
But, as a Floridian, based on what I’m seeing around here, I would be SHOCKED if Trump lost Florida. The economist is giving Biden a 79% of taking Florida - that’s just laughable. But I’ll admit i have no idea what’s going on in the rest of the country. Most news organizations are talking like Biden will win in a landslide, but my own eyes and what I’m seeing on forums like this one are telling me a different story. It could be I’m living in a right-wing bubble. I don’t know what to believe anymore :)
Could be a good thing...???
Washington Post says Trump is down by 30 points in Wisconsin. Did I hear that right?
Robert Barnes, who has a better track record than the Economist and makes money on betting election results, estimated Trump as 75% favored to win as of two days ago. A relevent fact is that early voting surge does not have as many millennials as the Democrats were depending on, and pollsters are way umdersamolingvworking class voters who dont trust system.
Any “model” which relies exclusively on leftwing biased media/college polling is of course going to forecast a win for whichever candidate the leftwing biased media/college polling favors. Some “model”.
It’s doesn’t necessarily mean they’re wrong, it just means that they are telling us absolutely nothing new at all.
BTW, you gotta love the “nonpartisan” claim regarding their rigorous 2016 analysis.
Futures down 2%
The Economist is worthless.
The media are playing a Covid spike like a fiddle for Biden right now and the stock market has been down the last three days because of the Covid thing.
“Futures down 2%”
Yep, third significantly down day in a row.
Even though many on Wall St. support that idiot Biden, they know electing Biden will tank the market. Higher taxes and more regulation will do that.

Excellent point, I stand corrected.
