Article from a few weeks ago, but now that G. Elliott Morris is taking over without Nate's models, I'm curious what lemmy's think about political polling analysis from FiveThirtyEight?

As soon as Clare was laid off I no longer was interested in 538 (atleast the podcast end). She had the most interesting perspective in my opinion. As far as the models go, most of the ones out there all seem similarly accurate so it is what it is.

Where did she go?

On the models, do you have any sources talking about the models and their accuracy?

No I do not ๐Ÿ˜‚. I'm sure there's something out there but I'm thinking about it from the perspective that if anyone had been way off recently there would have been a big hubbub about it. After Trump got elected most of these analysts changed their models and they've been more accurate since.

Clare writes for a couple different sites now, The New Yorker and NY Magazine... Basically free lancing. I believe she's also working on a book.
