2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Not worried...just a bit annoyed at the 538 2016 presidential forecast [View all]Farmgirl1961
(1,493 posts)7. I'm not particularly concerned
just annoyed to see it and to see MSM championing any poll out there that shows Trump ahead (in any swing state).
The numbers had been quite steady (Hillary hit a high of 88%) until the last day or so when Trump crept over the 15% mark. I know...I know...still so very slim...I just don't want his numbers to go up any higher and can't figure out for the life of me where these odd ball stats are coming from.

OP
I think it is a composite of polls and the outlier polls that came out today showing Trump ahead

I get that once in awhile and it pisses me off. I'm voting Clinton but I'm not a Democrat.

It's likely because of the reports about the cost of Obamacare going up

I saw that...it's just kind of weird that there's a bit more volatility today
