Yep, I fear that it’s the same “gut feeling” that had him predicting [Hillary would get 358 EV’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/presidential-results-prediction-thread/769319/14) and that [Biden would coast to victory with 400 EV’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predictions-for-the-2020-us-presidential-election/922525/5).

I wish we had an “Ann Selzer” on this board who had a good track record the last two elections that we could have some reliance on their prediction, but best I can tell we’re all in the “your guess is as good as mine” boat.

Like you, I’m hoping beyond hope that VP Harris clears 300 EV’s and removes all doubt for shenanigans.
