Hobart, so you know, the above numbers are approx 1 in 10 Trump wins. I did some math there for ya.

Still waiting for an answer: what do you call polling data with a purported 2-3% margin of error that is off by 10%?

ANSWER: WRONG

Also, you say they made changes. I asked, SPECIFICALLY, what did they change? You say go read about it. Sounds like you don't know. I'm not going to pore over 538 to prove a point you are failing to make.
