NY Times: Obama Chances Of Winning Even Stronger Than Yesterday
Nate Silver, who runs the New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight blog, now gives President Obama a 73.1% chance of winning re-election — up more than two points — and predicts 294 electoral college votes and 50.2% of the popular vote.
Yesterday, Silver gave President Obama a 71 percent chance of winning re-election on November 6, with 291 electoral college votes, and a 50.2% of the popular vote.
Perhaps this will stop Romney’s lies about his “momentum,” which is spelled, “backward.”
Also, perhaps it explains why “Romney Campaign Exaggerates Size Of Nevada Event With Altered Image.”
Of course, this likely doesn’t factor in Hurricane Sandy’s possible effect on the election. Have you voted yet?
