I don’t think reliable forecasting is gone. Nate Silver does not bring any new data to the table. However, he does have good models to translate a whole bunch of raw, often contradictory, data into something more representative of reality. That being said, it’s not going anywhere. He will either self publish or join another firm. He might rejoin NYTimes for example.
