It Begins: Pollster Nate Silver Says ‘A Biden Landslide Is Possible’

On Election Day 2016, at 10:41 a.m., pollster Nate Silver posted a story on his website, FiveThirtyEight.

“Final Election Update: There’s A Wide Range Of Outcomes, And Most Of Them Come Up Clinton,” said his headline.

“[Hillary] Clinton is a 71 percent favorite to win the election according to our polls-only model and a 72 percent favorite according to our polls-plus model. (The models are essentially the same at this point, so they show about the same forecast.) This reflects a meaningful improvement for Clinton in the past 48 hours as the news cycle has taken a final half-twist in her favor. Her chances have increased from about 65 percent,” he wrote.

And now, Silver’s at it again with a brand new prediction: a “Biden landslide is possible.”
