just because you guys donīt like what they see there does not mean it is a fake.

nobody have to lie or fake something to see that trump is the most hated US president ever.
hated inside the country and in the rest of the world.
I'm not sure what you mean - 538 is a good source of data. Nate Silver clearly does not like Trump, but he seems to want to be fair to him. I'm not skilled enough at stat to evaluate his algorithms, but he does analyze elections well.

He was taken to task over his support for Trump (he gave him 33% chance instead of 3% like NYTimes) and the "statistician" who did so had to apologize.

Do they make mistakes, yes, of course. But overall they're as fair a source as any.
