One of the world’s most well-known financial institutions which correctly predicted every presidential election since 1980 is predicting a win for Hillary Clinton.

Moody’s Analytics, a subsidiary of credit ratings agency Moody’s, believes President Obama’s strong approval ratings will give the Democratic nominee a significant advantage come November.

How is Obama's approval rating over 50%?

I'm not sure she will win by so many electoral votes.  I still don't see Trump pulling the 270 he needs though.

Model predicts 332 electoral votes for Hillary vs. 206 for Trump

Based solely off the price of homes, gas prices, and Obama's approval rating

Yeah they are soooo good at predicting defaults too.

I am also going to say that there model has been so accurate since 1980 because of the candidates we had since then. There had not been a Trump type candidate get the nomination during that time period.

Wanna bet the Dem political arm is spending money to pay off these polls and news outlets to manipulate the election just like they did with NPR and J-Street on the Iran arms deal.  It is all to produce an "echo chamber" in order to brainwash the masses.

Because a lot of  dipshits say and have said stuff like --

“Well, I really like him. I think that he’s working very hard. He’s trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration was a total disaster, a total catastrophe.

I think he’s sort of a guy that just has a wonderful personality, a good speaker, somebody that people trust… I think that he’s really doing a nice job in terms of representation of this country… I think he’s doing a really good job."  . Some liberal fuckstick

I will see your Moody's study and raise you a Western Illinois University prediction.
They have been right since 1975.
They predicted Sanders will be the next president.

"The Republican student body put together a Jeb Bush/ Marco Rubio ticket for 2016, and if you thought WIU’s primary results were interesting, get a load of this: The Sanders/ O’Malley ticket creams the Bush/ Rubio ticket heavy-handedly, with a blow-out landslide win in which Sanders/ O’Malley takes home 404 electoral votes, to the measily 114 picked up by Bush/ Rubio."

Granted, but Hillary has none of the positives Obama's campaign had.  He was still perceived as a likable enough person, which is an advantage Hillary won't enjoy.  Romney's campaign seemed asleep as the wheel, as does Hillary's, but no one every accused Trump of being "low energy".

Honestly, this year feels really different. Trump has completely obliterated conventional wisdom. Any model that would have predicted anything when it came to chances of securing the nomination, was thrown completely out the window this time. I'm not sure why the general election would be any different.

All I'm going to do is observe from this point on. Hell, I didn't think he'd win a single primary (and neither did any other "smart" analyst back when he announced). That was a pretty safe assumption too, by traditional standards. Except it was completely wrong. Yeah. Oops.

I ain't predicting shit this year, and I'm not sure why anyone else would stick their neck out either, at this point.

We're in uncharted territory. Political scientists are going to be studying this one for years.

Conventional wisdom says Hillary will obliterate him. Conventional wisdom has a poor track record this time around. It'd the damndest thing. Trump has been getting away with shit that no other politician could have survived. So at this point?  Fuck if I know.

The problems with the model are that no one knows exactly what our Current Dear leader's approval rating or the price of gasoline will be in early November.

I dont know about Moodys, but some of the other predictors who are credited with 100% accuracy have made multiple revised predictions in the past, and then take credit based on their last prediction made on the cusp of the election.
