why this picture should make us happy tonight - from Nate's 538 update just now.Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 11:32 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) ?1
Conventions, debates are now done. MSM has spun what it can. It is now about two weeks of a superior ground game focused on swing states. Look at the line, and extrapolate it out two weeks. I see this as a great status update tonight. And slipping votes/stealing would be pretty obvious with where things should be by election day if the trend holds.

How quickly we forget, I remember 75% a bit fuzzy if it hit 80% one time

34. I Think It Was 81% or 87% Shortly After The 1st Debate
|
Before all the post debate spin and liberal hand-wringing, I think Nate had it up to one of those two %'s (81 or 87). Not sure though.

When I look at 538 I'm seeing 71 up from 68. Others posted that earlier as well. Great if it is 74

18. the now cast was near 100% after the Dem convention and pre-debates.
