Liberal Data Analyst Nate Silver Says Trump Favored to Win, Accuses Pollsters of ‘Putting Finger on the Scale’ to Make Election Seem Closer Than it is

[StevieRay]

Liberal data analyst Nate Silver states Trump will win the election. His forecast puts Trump somewhere in the mid-50s and Harris in the mid-40s.

During a recent appearance on the Risky Business podcast, he accused pollsters of cheating and putting their fingers on the scale in order to make the race appear closer than it actually is.

He says that the race has gradually drifted to Trump over a long period of time and notes that Harris has been regularly losing ground.

Polling expert Nate Silver criticized other pollsters for manipulating survey results in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. He accused them of recycling past results to keep the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris appearing close. Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, called out pollsters for “herding” their numbers, specifically mentioning Emerson College in his criticism.

“I kind of trust pollsters less,” Silver said during an episode of his weekly podcast, Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova.

Silver’s own model shows Trump ahead of Harris, 55% to 45%, as the election nears. He expressed frustration with pollsters showing close races consistently, arguing they were trying not to stand out. He suggested, “Your numbers aren’t all going to come out at exactly one-point leads when you’re sampling 800 people over dozens of surveys. You are lying! You’re putting your f–king finger on the scale!”

Harris/Walz is flooding ads on Fox News at the ratio of 3/1 going to election eve. Murdoch, even with a net worth of $20B, is looking for every penny he could find after coughing up $750M settlement for Dominion lawsuit.

These new outlets exists for ads money. They don't give a shit who buys the airtime. Political ads do not come every day. It's an easy $50M Fox is making in 48 hours. FOXA pops another 4% today.
