Nate Silver, who runs the New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight blog, now gives President Obama a 73.1% chance of winning re-election — up more than two points — and predicts 294 electoral college votes and 50.2% of the popular vote.

Yesterday, Silver gave President Obama a 71 percent chance of winning re-election on November 6, with 291 electoral college votes, and a 50.2% of the popular vote.

Perhaps this will stop Romney’s lies about his “momentum,” which is spelled, “backward.”
