Early vote and what not, the sentiment from people like us in the bubble was that clinton if anything was safer than the polls might assume. but whenever you take a piece of data or a piece of information, the second step has to be telling people how accurate it might be and how wrong it might be and i think one of the critiques i have of the way so-called data journalism has evolved and we try to avoid this people just present the data point and dont talk about the meaning, the context, alterna...

I want to talk about the popular vote first off, david chalian. so hillary clinton its possible she could win the popular vote but not the electoral vote but that doesnt matter shes already conceded. there will be no challenges. >> right. we elect presidents by the electoral college not by the popular vote. thats the way weve been doing it for a couple centuries. so the -- and this will be, i think, the fourth time in history if indeed it emerges that way that the popular vote winner and the ele...

Further the pendulum could swing in the final leadup to the question? >> we need to determine what is going to happen because you have news events that could totally shake up over the next 2 1/2 weeks, but what we noticed between data point, september to october in ohio, was a shift to hillary clinton by a margin of three points and we had trump winning by three points in the september poll and now the race is dead even and two of the last polls in ohio, clinton is winning and the previous two h...
