Prominent elections analyst and statistician Nate Silver said Wednesday that former President Trump is now electorally favored to
defeat Kamala Harris in November by the widest margin in months.
Silver released his latest election forecast,
writing on his Substack, "The forecast is still in toss-up range, but Trump’s chances of winning are his highest since July 30," Silver wrote.
Silver's nuanced election forecast model shows Trump's chances of winning the Electoral College have increased from 52.4% to 58.2% since last Thursday. Harris' odds meanwhile, have decreased from 47.3% to 41.6%.
He also noted that Harris seemingly didn't benefit from a DNC bounce as much as election models had predicted.
"There's room to debate the convention bounce stuff, but Harris has been getting a lot of mediocre state polls lately," Silver wrote.
Last week, Silver warned that Harris was poised to be a "slight underdog" in Pennsylvania, whose
19 electoral votes are expected to play a significant part in determining the outcome of the presidential election.
On Wednesday, the polling guru delivered more bad news for the Harris campaign,
writing on X that Michigan could present an "issue" for Harris after weeks of lackluster numbers in the state.
Polling shows Harris holding a slight lead in the battleground state with its 15 electoral votes, a narrow advantage that Silver says should make the Harris campaign nervous....

Kamala is going the wrong way. Maybe Putin's endorsement will help her.
