June 28 polls-plus odds (release date):

79.1% Clinton, 20.9% Trump

July 21, 11:00 AM EDT:

59.9% Clinton, 40.1% Trump

Something to think about, for sure.

Lol, the OP is literally bragging about their candidate having a 39% chance of winning.  Sad!

Bragging? Nah...I have no personal stake in Trump winning or losing. I merely thought Trump's chances of victory doubling over the course of three weeks was worth bringing up.

Not to mention Silver had a 50.3% chance of Obama winning Florida in 2012. That's flipping a coin that it would take thousands of flips to determine is slightly weighted one way. In what sense was that a "call"?

Trump's very margin at this very moment in Florida.
