2020 election forecastHow our forecast works, By Ryan Best, Jay Boice, Aaron Bycoffe and Nate Silver. Odds Are, That Changes This Year. 2020 was defined by trying to remove the party in power.

State polling averages are adjusted based on national trends, which means candidates’ averages can shift even in the absence of fresh state polls.

But it’s fair to criticize Sanders for losing in 2020 in a fairly similar way to 2016. This excludes Wisconsin, which voted on Tuesday but has yet to release any results.

A 10 percent chance of winning is not a zero percent chance.

(For certain handles, the data extends even earlier than these ranges. Our 2020 forecasts — presidential, Senate, House — are all now officially frozen, meaning we won’t be ingesting any new polls or updating the odds in any race.

As the election gets closer — and as we get swamped with new polls — the forecast will get less uncertain. For the 946 handles newly added on the June 2018 list, this data contains every tweet since June 19, 2015. But the senator’s advisers seemed to think that Sanders had a unique appeal to white working-class voters that would simply continue in 2020. There is a simple explanation for why Sen. Bernie Sanders, who officially suspended his presidential campaign on Wednesday, lost the Democratic nomination: Former Vice President Joe Biden trounced the Vermont senator when the race narrowed to a one-on-one contest after Super Tuesday. But in simulations where he won Texas by a big margin, he may also have won big in toss-up states and pulled some Democratic-leaning states into his column, while the reverse may be true in simulations where he lost the state.

But Sanders’s failure to expand his coalition to older voters, minorities and establishment Democrats all but doomed his campaign.

In some of our simulations, Trump may have won Texas very narrowly and also have narrowly lost some toss-up states. Light

*Maine and Nebraska award two electoral votes to the winner of the statewide race and one electoral vote to the winner of each congressional district. Different news organizations are using slightly different approaches to allocate delegates. Trace the path from either end to see which state could put one candidate over the top. If she had opted against running in 2016, it’s fairly likely that other prominent Democrats — say, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Biden or Warren — would have run, and it’s not clear that Sanders could have defeated them either. There were some clear indications that some of Sanders’s success in 2016 — among white voters without college degrees, in particular — had more to do with anti-Clinton sentiment than strong support for Sanders. When you choose the winner of a state or district, we throw out any simulations where the outcome you picked didn’t happen and recalculate the candidates’ chances using just the simulations that are left.

Moreover, many of Biden’s wins were blowouts, ballooning his pledged delegate lead to 311, a margin that is essentially insurmountable. What Comes Next. Of course, the simple explanation for Sanders’s loss begs a deeper question: Why did Sanders do so badly in a one-on-one contest against Biden?

Finally, we blend those adjusted simulations with any of the original simulations that still apply and produce a final forecast.
