(24,718 posts)1. I thought Mr. O. was up @ 90 before the 1st debate?
In any case, this will do!

(81 posts)3. that was the Now-cast
he maxed at 87% in Silver's Nov. 6 forecast, these two models are a bit different.

(4,551 posts)5. I know people were disappointed when Obama fell into the 60s in Nate's model
But that wasn't his fault. He was just doing his job and analyzing the polls.
The reality is that Obama took a drop after the first debate.
We don't want to get like the other side and attack someone just for reporting the numbers.
