Related: About this forumUpshot Model, Hillary at 90%
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/presidential-polls-forecast.html?_r=1This is the site I've been following all along as it's the most comprehensive prediction site out there. It takes into account 8 different reputable statistical models and combines them.
90% is as high as it has been, tying August 26th.
The swing state chooser at the bottom is fun to play with, Hillary simply has to win states she is 85% or better to win and there is no way for her to lose. Trump has to flip states he currently only has a <15% chance to win.
3 Weeks To Go!!! Work harder than ever, donate as much as you can. Depending on how the debate goes Wednesday I will be donating down ticket exclusively after that.

(81,855 posts)If Hillary wins VA, PA, NH, and WI, Trump has to win every other swing state.

(19,037 posts)PA, CO, VA, NH, and WI are all at least 89% to Hillary, that hardly makes them swing states, the Upshot site has always listed 10 states in the swing state tool, but they've basically run out of swing states. They list VA as a swing state when going off from their %s say that UT, AK, TX, MS, IN, SC, and MO are more of swing states than VA.
If Hillary were in Trump's situation we'd be talking about her having to sweep several swing states she was already way behind in and then flip a state like IN or TX. Can you imagine how despondent we'd be if we thought Hillary had to flip TX to win?
And this allows Hillary to just defend a couple states to win. And she is a 4 out 5 shot to win FL, without FL Trump is finished. GOTV!!!! The Early voting is already looking great.
