Donald Trump at 240
Hillary Clinton at 296

North Carolina, Florida and Nevada looking like a dead heat according to 5-38.

Things getting interesting if Donalds' momentum continues. Especially in these states and Colorado.

The development over the last few days is super cool. Trump's win percentage:

Oct 29th: 18,9%
Oct 30th: 21,2%
Oct 31st: 24,8%
Nov 1st: 28,8%
Nov 2nd: 32,3%
Today: 35,3%

That is virtually a linear ascent, climbing an average of 3,28 points PER DAY. As a thought experiment, if the trend continued, on election day the model would have Trump at 51,7%.

As I  noted before, the sole reason the model had Trump up in NC, FL and NV was the "trend line adjustment" which was pushing  every state a bit more than 2 points in Trump's direction.  Today that has been cut in half and that flips those three states back to Clinton.  Now 538 aligns with all other models in terms of state wins, but still is more bullish on Trump in terms of margins and odds .

Was it purely data that changed the trend line in the last few hours?

The trend line will become neglible as the election nears. And there was seemingly an adjustment up for Trump.

As for the other comments, Nate is not going anywhere.

His website is top of Google. Well presented and easy to understand.

He is making a fortune out of website advertising alone.

News.com.au predicts a Trump win:

"one of the most respected pollsters in the United States, Nate Silver"

Haha. Told you top of Google meant something.

Things have turned decidedly bad for Trump on 5-38.

She is encroaching 300 EC votes.
