    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?

    GEM is generally fine from what i’ve seen; it’s also hard to feel sympathetic for Nate even though 538 is his baby. a lot of his colleagues don’t like him (because he apparently presided over a very bro-ey, douche-y culture) and he’s kind of a dipshit disaffected libertarian who loves to speak out of his ass on things he doesn’t understand via Twitter.
