@BrendanNyhan He is talking about our forecast, because there are no probabilities associated with our polling average. But please post the strawman GIF again without bothering to make sure you got the details right. — PolitiTweet.org

This is pretty dishonest. Our current forecast is for Biden to win the popular vote by 6 points. 8 points (not 9) is his current lead in the polling average & the model expects the race to tighten. And our forecast has Biden winning by only 3-4 points in the tipping-point states. — PolitiTweet.org

IMO this is pretty fundamentally irreconcilable 538, Aug 26 2016: Clinton +4, 18% other/undecided, 81% to win 538,… https://t.co/VbXUF2BHaN

@BrendanNyhan @gelliottmorris I think it's dishonest for him to conflate our polling average with our forecast when he knows better, but FWIW, it is also not an honest representation of our polling average. We had Clinton up by 6 on this date in 2016, not by 4. https://t.co/sJBHxVdNSS — PolitiTweet.org
