Thomas Miller , a professor at Northwestern University , has been predicting the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

Miller maintains that his model guided by political betting data is a much better forecaster than following the individual polls.

The data scientist’s approach is based on results of presidential elections over sixty years .

The Republican standard-bearer maintained a double-digit EV lead until his disastrous appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists on July 31 , where he falsely claimed that Harris misled voters about her race.

That day , the Democrats took the lead for the first time, but Trump bounced back fast, almost leveling the count by August 5 .

The next day , Harris secured the nomination and named Tim Walz as her running mate.
