I didn't see anything about it. I went to the website and it redirects to ABC news.

Not surprising. The writing was on the wall as soon as they laid everyone on the podcast off

Nate Silver (the original creator of 538) is hosting a replacement for most of what it used to do now. He has Trump approval tracking now:
https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin

And he writes lots of articles on the main blog:
https://www.natesilver.net/

His model was much better than the garbage 538 started using after he left, so this is no great loss.

The site was pretty terrible last election cycle without Nate Silver. Say what you will about his conclusions but it was easy to see his source data and his interfaces were very user friendly.

They didn't say it was good, just better.

Polling in general is pretty much dead as long as Trumpism is a thing in politics. I think it's been pretty well established by this point that Trumpers are effectively unpollable. It's just not possible to get a good measure of Trump support through polling.

His model that was by far the most accurate one? If you don't understand statistics that's your problem, not the model's. He weights polls based on quality. AtlasIntel being the highest rated. Speaking of which...

He literally wrote multiple articles about how he wanted Trump to lose because he was a threat to Democracy and people here were like "Peter Thiel pays him to shill for Trump by using fake right wing poll data". Conspiracy theories, not just limited to the right.
