has been worse at predicting outcomes than a weighted average of the most recent polls.

Tat did a good job of explaining that arriving at a probability is not a prediction, but using sloppy thinking and sloppy language I guess you can say that polls are predicting a Hillary win.

"weighted average of the most recent polls"

CIC probably means like this:

IT's a good thing that republicans have the libertarian option of Johnson as a protest vote.

I have to admit, that I expected the improvement in RCPs lagging graph above, but I expected a down-tic in Nate Silver's now-cast today.

But nope.

NBC poll

2 polls of Donald Trump's standing in Iowa, exactly one year apart, are a time warp into the 2016 campaign

Two polls of Iowa tell the story of the past year for Donald Trump.

Exactly one year ago, Trump was polling at 17% in Iowa among Republican primary contenders. There were some fresh warning signs about his fledgling, yet burgeoning, candidacy among a 17-candidate GOP field.

One wild and turbulent year later, Trump — the Republican presidential nominee — is leading his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, in the same poll of the same state.

Trump led 41% to 40% in the survey, released by Suffolk University on Thursday.

So why is he losing? He's a stupid cunt crying rape.

The internal polls must suck for Hillary. The scale of the media attacks, the huge bump in negative ads on Trump, and when Obama interrupts his vacation to raise money for Hillary.

It doesn't matter how corrupt Hillary is, unless somebody was stupid enough to put in some smoking gun down in an email at State or on her server. And even then with the Slim NYT and Bezos WaPo and Clinton News Network, it'll be quickly excused and passed over.

Hillary voters don't care how in league with foreign governments and big banks she is. The evidence of which is overwhelming.

Now Health, that's something else. I couldn't imagine a candidate not releasing their health records, esp. since the two major ones are around 70 years old.

As for Turnout, it all depends if "Reagan Democrat", Blue Collar Union Members come out in droves, but Blacks don't.

Thing is, it's not the AFT/SEIU employees or bank officials whose lives are on the line, nor are they the ones who make less today with two jobs than they made 20 years ago at one job. Motivation.

You're limiting me to ONE?

There's the Pulizer Prize winner talking about UBS, and Saudi Arabia, and KeystoneXL, and... just posted today.

I'm voting for the lesser of two Elvis'

Hillary Clinton has hired a former lobbyist for the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, further upsetting environmentalists who have long been wary of her commitment to fighting climate change.

BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith reported on Wednesday that the Clinton campaign has hired Jeffrey Berman as a campaign consultant. Berman, who began working for the campaign earlier this month, once lobbied on behalf of TransCanada, the company that hopes to build a pipeline carrying tar sands oil from Canada to the southern coast of the U.S.

R.L. Miller of Climate Hawks Vote said Berman's hiring "is a disappointment—especially as Martin O'Malley is taking flight based on the best climate plan I've seen from a candidate, and Bernie Sanders continues to soar."

"For us it’s a signal that she continues to be willing to work with oil and gas interests and take money from folks who are committed to have a pathway to fossil fuels," said Ben Schreiber, Friends of the Earth's climate and energy program director.

In 2008, political operatives described Berman as an “unsung hero” of Obama’s upset win over Clinton, due to a strategy that won Obama more delegates in key primaries when Clinton was still ahead in the popular vote. After Obama’s win, Berman joined the lobbying firm Bryan Cave LLC, which retained TransCanada as a client until 2013.

Federal disclosures show that TransCanada paid Bryan Cave $120,000 to lobby the State Department—to “monitor climate change legislation and presidential permit process for TransCanada Keystone Pipeline,” per the disclosure form—while Clinton was secretary. Berman is listed as the lobbyist on this issue.

In 2010, Clinton said she was "inclined" to approve a permit for the pipeline. She's refused to take a position ever since. “I have steadily made clear that I'm not going to express an opinion” she said in January, which also happened to be the same week the Senate considered a bill to fast-track the six-year-long delay to a permit. Clinton’s extended network has other connections to TransCanada, like her 2008 national deputy campaign manager Paul Elliot, now an in-house lobbyist for TransCanada. And the Wall Street Journal reported in February that between Clinton's tenure at the State Department and campaign for president, the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in donations from ExxonMobil and nearly half a million dollars from Canada's Foreign Affairs, Trade and Management agency, which supports the pipeline.

Just a coinky-dinkles that the Clinton Foundation was given big bucks from ExxonMobile and the Canadian Agency pushing KeystoneXL when Clinton was Sec. of State.

Probably just wanted to donate money to Haitian Relief.

Sorry, that was just Hedge Funds. Here's Securities/Investment and Commercial Banks

Nope.

Like I said, only a naive person believes powerful institutions write big checks to candidates expecting nothing in return.

Although she should be in jail for the emails. DoD workers are in jail for far fewer classified emails and mere negligence in handling them.

Meanwhile in Serbia:

Also in Serbia:

Also in Serbia:

His nationalism and racism are what they respect. YOu must be so proud.

Trump is on a little uptick. He appears to have Georgia back, and is down to about 87% now-cast probability that Hillary wins.

Did he take a few days off from campaigning or something ?

Why did you leave out the rest of it, especially the part about who do you think will win is much better indicator? Look a little further into the poll next time.

Uhhhh, I got my poll from the LA Times... Looks like you got yours from Nate Silver?.

Iowa State Fair poll:

Yesterday my IT shop took me to my BD lunch.
The CIO who just this past March during the early Primaries, when Hillary was still running around the country in media silence securing delegates votes. And Trump hadn't shined the Roach spot light on her yet. He said during a trip in March, Trump may win the Primaries, but Hillary will be the next President. I said what do you mean, and read off the laundry list of charges that those of us, who don't follow CNN and Huffingshit knows as common knowledge. He just laughed and shrugged it off like it was tinfoil hat conspiracy theory talk, and I invented it my self. He hadn't heard no such news. He said even if those allegations were true, he's a lifelong Democrat and would be voting for her. That was March!
Now yesterday during lunch, he was the piping up about how we're screwed with the two choices but he was most terrified of Hillary. He said no way no how should that maniac ever be President.

Then the project manager said... "Did you hear her in that speech She gave, she said she promises to raise taxes on the middle class."

And here I thought Breitbart wasnt' reaching anybody. I know they didn't get all of these "lies" from CNN.

Latest LA Times poll.... Trumps winning :)

Somehow I knew Hillary couldn't keep it up.

trump has run virtually no ads and we havent even started the debates.

secondly most of the polls are bullshit numbers.

Trump now up 2%.

Trump up by 5% in PA now:

TRUMP LEADS CLINTON by 5+ POINTS in the KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE of PENNSYLVANIA

Trump leads Clinton 41.9 percent to 36.5 percent, with 21.5 percent voters undecided. Trump’s lead is just inside the margin of error and marks the first time that the Republican candidate is catching up in the traditional stronghold state of the democratic party.

Hang in there, mate. At least you've found the one that says what you want it to say. Squeeze that puppy like your life depended on it.

No I read the part that where the LA times explains how the poll is conducted and what it means. The link is right there on the LA times page you posted. You didn't see it? No interest in what it means or why?

That LA times poll has always been skewed towards Trump, compared to all the dozen or so other major polls.

Here is Real CLear politics average of polls. It is moving a little in Trumps direction. For a few days he didn't say anything too stupid, and he even apologized for being such an asshole the other day. That should help him some.

Hillary only wins this election by the flip of a switch. And a executing a few lines of code.
That is the only way.

Why ? Is it because you are the only person that exists ? The rest of us are just something you are imagining ? You think we are so far down the rabbit hole that all the polls are all fake ?

Like you, I assume others are like me, which is why I don't see how anyone thinks Trump could possibly win.

Never in our history has there been a republican candidate so widely disliked by his own party. Sure 40% or whatever of the republicans are wildly rabbid Trump fans. But about twenty percent of republicans say they can not vote for him. This is unheard of. PEople are trying to figure out whether republicans can even hold a majority in congress because of the number of republicans that are just turned off by this election.

You assume that it's normal to like bullshit lies as much as you do, as long as it argues in the direction of making the case you want to make. A lot of people don't operate that way. I think too many years of Fox news, talk radio, and now Brietbart have totally destroyed any potential you might have once had for critical thinking.

Lindsay Graham famously said, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it."

What's the matter, Barnyard Bobby??

After all the times have I posted against Hillary and you still can't comprehend it? Just goes to prove once again that you can't cure stupid. Still grumpy that sis isn't letting you get any I see, the sheep are going to have a rough night again.
