A Brutal Wonk Swap at FiveThirtyEight

nymag.com

After Disney refused to re-up Nate Silver’s contract at the influential polling blog FiveThirtyEight, it hired his quasi rival, G. Elliott Morris.

Article from a few weeks ago, but now that G. Elliott Morris is taking over without Nate’s models, I’m curious what lemmy’s think about political polling analysis from FiveThirtyEight?

I will wait and see. I treat all polls as biased to a degree, and just historical snapshots.
