The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “Nate Silver Now Responsible for 20% of ‘New York Times’ Traffic”.

Chris Taylor says, “If you’ve been anxiously hitting the refresh button on Nate Silver’s election statistics blog, fivethirtyeight.com, you’re not alone.

Fivethirtyeight, licensed and hosted by the New York Times since 2010, collects all polls and aggregates them in an algorithm that accounts for their historical accuracy. An electoral vote estimate, and the probability of each candidate winning, is offered. Famously, Silver’s model predicted 49 out of 50 states in 2008, and everything but the exact number of GOP seats in the House (for which there were few polls) in 2010”.
