Umm, you do realize the page you're linking to shows Trump winning in nearly 2 out of 5 times? Nate Silver was pointing out today that this is about what Kerry's lead was. Historically, numbers can still move a lot in either direction. The hope is that Trump has given himself a ceiling in the mid 40s, but 538s numbers don't capture that.
