Seems like Silver's got some edge back, now that he's not beholden to the Disney Corporation.

You mean that Nate Silver was also a lapdog for Disney?
That makes sense! But, he has been somewhat accurate in the past.

I'm not necessarily saying he was their lapdog, but the quality of 538 gradually declined.

Of course, but his quality met the standards and desires of the Disney Corp.
They were his piper, always calling the tune.

I haven't listened to his new podcast, but I really enjoyed his 538 podcasts back before ABC bought it.

Yup, he openly admits it, too. Working with Disney wasn't great

Is it really a coin toss who will win on Tuesday?
Silver is saying, no it’s not. But pollsters aren’t willing to stick their neck out.

You only look dumb if you're wrong in a different way from everyone else. It definitely doesn't actually feel like a toss up.

I don't know any more than anyone else, but it's looking like Trump has the edge.
That's what realclearpolitics, 270towin, Nate Silver, and the predictions markets all say.

We wont know the proper results even after the votes have been counted.
The Democrats are using Stalin’s vote counting theory.

You only look dumb if you took the money and didn’t give the proper results.
You see it in pharma, science and medicine, all bought and paid for.
I guess you can add polling and journalism to that list.

Who needs it to look close.
Been seein’ those “new’” Haitians (now, within 6 months Americans) being trucked to several voting stations to vote early and vote often.
They have been caught red-handed again, and I do mean RED.

Outliers are the ones that are getting discarded as incorrect polls.
What could the incentive to “herd” like this.
I don’t think Nate Sliver has that nailed down.
Perhaps the incentive is to show what is not accurate to bolster later electoral games.
Are these pollsters bought and paid for?
What are the results that they are aiming for with this “herding”?
I don’t think anybody is going to like the results of this bogus polling!
