'The New York Times' data blog flips prediction in two hours
A lot can change in a few hours.
Yesterday, the New York Times' data visualization blog The Upshot gave Donald Trump a 16% chance of winning.
Now?
Nail-biter.
As of 10:30 p.m. ET, the blog pegged Trump's chances at 87% — right around where they pegged Hillary Clinton at 8 p.m.
The blog's predictions show a drastic change from recent trends that indicated a victory for Clinton.
From Oct. 21-25, Clinton's lead peaked at 93% but has fallen ever since.
As Trump wins key battleground states like Ohio and narrows his lead in others like Florida and North Carolina, the numbers have begun to shift.
