Some notes about the 2020 forecast: Our model produces probabilistic forecasts, as opposed to hard-and-fast binary predictions about who will win or lose. It estimates the chances of each candidate winning, and will update continuously until Election Day. 53eig.ht/3amzhaD
We simulate the election 40,000 times to see who wins most often.
These maps are a representative sample of how things might shake out on Election Day. 53eig.ht/2020
If the election were held today, Biden might win in a landslide. BUT the election is not today. It’s August. We have debates and conventions. There's a pandemic, which is also causing a volatile economy. So, basically, it's way too soon to count Trump out. 53eig.ht/3gPDkPp
The FiveThirtyEight presidential election forecast has Trump with a 29 in 100 chance of winning the Electoral College, despite his current deficit in the polls. 53eig.ht/2PLWYja
