2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum538s Now-Cast Numbers at this time in 2012, Hillary doing better than Obama did....
On October 30th 2012, the Now-Cast was 79.5% for Obama, 20.5 for Romney!
Today, Hillary has 86.0% and Trump has 14.0%, so Hillary is doing 6.5% better than Obama at the same time period.
And between 10/30/2012 and election day Obama gained 14.2%! Ended up with 90.9%.
So compared to 2012 Hillary is doing 6.5% better than Obama! I can see Hillary at easily 95% on election day!
A lot if interesting information on the archived page below!

(19,156 posts)People still need to actually vote.
Thankfully, Trump is doing all he can to motivate people to cast their vote against him, no matter the projected landslide. We all want to be on record as opposing this piece of scum.

(98,883 posts)is vital NOT to get complacent.
More concerning is that the Senate race for majority control has been tightening up even faster in the last few days, and we really need to insure that Democrats GOTV because we need at least the Senate to have the Supreme Court start to undo the damage of the Scalia's, Thomas, Alito, and this is the one opportunity to do so. There will be at least two justices who will be replaced by the next President, and that could change the direction of the court for decades, along with the appointment of other federal judges

(44,173 posts)is that Obama had to spend much of October recovering from his first crappy debate performance. He he not tanked that debate, he may have won a full-scale landslide.
