Sometimes, Even Good Shit Rolls Downhill

For those of you unaware, this election could be about much more than just the Presidency. Downticket races on the state and national level are flooding to the left. There are some clunkers in there to be sure. Overall though, this could turn out to be a complete repudiation of the past eight years. Nate Silver's website FiveThirtyEight has relevant polling data. These are the numbers to use for reassurance to ourselves and the doubtful that yes, this is happening.

On a side note, I've read Nate's work on the great American pastime over at BaseballProspectus for some time. If you're a fan, it's worth checking out.
