The Electoral College/popular vote gap is increasing in post-DNC data.

AI Generated Summary (I’ve been expirimentign with it):

Kamala Harris had a tough day in the forecast despite gains in national polls.
She leads by 3.8 points nationally but has a 47.3% chance of winning the Electoral College.
The model adjusts for convention bounce, assuming her polls are inflated.
Harris’s numbers may improve if she maintains her current standing.
A concern is the lack of polls showing her ahead in Pennsylvania, a key state.
Recent polls show Pennsylvania as a tie or slightly favoring Trump.
Harris has a 17% chance of winning the popular vote but losing the Electoral College.
RFK’s dropout and endorsement of Trump may impact her in Rust Belt states.
Tim Walz has had a strong rollout as Harris’s VP, but there’s speculation about Josh Shapiro.

He (and the rest of 538, where he was at the time) were criticized at the time for giving Trump much better odds than most. They were still wrong, but less so than the rest.
