First sentence. Very first:
If you think almost all of the “news” coverage about President Trump, you’re right, according to a new study..

How did Nate's predictions work out, oh, about 4 years ago?

In all fairness, Nate was saying a week or so before the election that something was off with the numbers and Democrats should be somewhat careful. He then got lambasted...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Rasmussen is consistent. So an uptick like at 53% vs mid to high 40’s for a long time has meaning especially in the brutal week Trump seems to have suffered.
Also the political scientist from Stonybrook who’s model predicted Trump at 80% chance in 2016 has it at over 90% this time. It is based on primary data from 1918 and has been right I think 90% of the time.

I remember seeing this guy a while ago, but I thought he had backtracked his prediction saying that Trump will lose based on economy, etc.
Got a link for me?

There’s a bunch of guys that every cycle. They invent an overfitted model and brag about its post-dictive abilities and assume it must be predictive.

OK, Jon. Here's the deal.
If Biden wins, you can pummel some of us daily for 1 year, and we will type "you were right, Jon!" every day in response.If Trump wins, you buy that Vette and wear a MAGA hat for one week per month, with the Vette top down.
And, you have to drive to wherever Phibes lives, and listen to him on any subject for an hour. -

On that, I would agree.
OTOH, something must be going on in some of the internal polls. I see some changes being made in both campaigns...

Yep. LOL
A friend once quit work to start a precious metals trading company. He had a model that was going to work and give great returns. I invested a small amount with him, knowing (and figuring) that I could lose it, but that was okay. After a couple of years, I got my exact amount of money back, but did not make any. He admitted that the model was constantly being updates to fit past history, but that was not enough to predict the future. LOL
