I follow Nate Silver all the time on Twitter and his website www.fivethirtyeight.com to see his political projections. Nate called 49 of the 50 states in the 2008 presidential election, and all 50 states in the 2012 presidential election.
Because Nate is primarily does projections on Sporting Events this is how he describes the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump:
"We're at halftime of the election right now," Silver told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "She's taking a 7-point, maybe a 10-point lead into halftime. There's a lot of football left to be played. She's ahead in almost every poll, every swing state, every national poll."
"Trump has never been ahead of Clinton in the general election campaign," Silver continued. "He did a great job of appealing to the 40 percent of the GOP he had to win the election, the primary — a lot different than winning 51 percent of 100 percent."
Nate Silver is very clear to point out the race is not over yet. He makes sure to make us aware of the failed 1988 presidential bid of Democrat Michael Dukakis, who after the convention had a 17 point lead against Republican George H. W. Bush.
Nate Silver gives Hillary Clinton Great Odds at beating Donald Trump at this point in the Election
