Nate’s still out there trying to sell the horserace, generate those clicks and get paid. Really disappointing seeing this cashing by one of the biggest names in data driven journalism. In past elections he would have been the first to call out anybody doing what he’s doing now.

If you focus on the polls, historians may look back on 2016 as one of the least-dramatic elections of all time.

This is mostly wrong… 2016 polls have been more volatile than 2012, 2008, 2004. Certainly not as volatile as some past years (1992) though. https://t.co/PZkYzhxbAH

As far as I am aware, Silver is factually incorrect. Standard deviation of Clinton-v-Trump national margin is 2.2%, lowest ever since 1952. https://t.co/8rynE1InAX
