• Apocalypse or Anticlimax — Election 2016 Final Models

    A concise collection of election day final forecasts from reasonably reputable analysts, for future reference.

    Mostly focused on electoral vote (EV) projections, for constitutional reasons. All forecasts as of this morning, Feb 8th, 0900 CST.


    Princeton Election Consortium

    Clinton 307 EV, Trump 231 EV, Clinton win probability: 99%

    Oddly enough, PEC’s current histogram is significantly less bullish on Clinton than their current stated probability.


    The Upshot (NYT)

    Clinton win probability: 84%

    Upshot doesn’t report EV estimates, but their histogram peaks somewhere between 310-350 EV for Clinton.
