Nate Silver criticizes pollsters for misleading election forecasts

Nate Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, criticized pollsters for allegedly manipulating results ahead of the election. He claims many surveys are using "herding" techniques, leading to misleading close polls that do not reflect true voter sentiment. Silver's models suggest a 55% chance of a Donald Trump victory compared to 45% for Kamala Harris. He expressed distrust in pollsters, stating that consistent narrow leads indicate a lack of genuine data. In the latest DailyMail.com poll, Trump leads Harris by three points among likely voters. Both candidates have solidified their bases, but Trump has gained support from independents, tightening the race as Election Day approaches.
