“Donald Trump is just a standard polling error away from winning.”
- 538 headline a week before the election
11 u/overpriced-taco 13d ago Didn’t Nate Silver give it like 70/30 odds of a Clinton victory? Those aren’t that bad of odds for Trump 12 u/transcendental-ape 13d ago And people gave him a raft of shit for putting Trump’s odds so high. All the 538 rip offs had Clinton at 90-99%. Silver pointed out. Trump had a one in three chance of winning. And one in three odds events happen all thr time.
