	4	+Hillary Clinton has an 87 chance to win. The Upshot’s elections model suggests that Hillary Clinton is favored to win the presidency, based on the latest state and national polls. A victory by Mr. Trump remains possible: Mrs. Clinton’s chance of losing is about the same as the probability that an N.F.L. kicker misses a 36-yard field goal. Note that our model is based on polls, which take days to conduct. It won’t reflect any changes in the race until the polls do.¶ From now until Election Day, we’ll update our estimates with each new poll, as well as collect the ratings of other news organizations. You can chart different paths to victory below. Here’s how our estimates have changed over time: To forecast each party’s chance of winning the presidency, our model calculates vote estimates for each state and the District of Columbia, as well as congressional districts in Maine and Nebraska, which assign electoral votes by district.

	8	+Recent measurements of American public opinion have painted a picture of a nation divided over the fairness of our criminal justice system along the lines of race and political ideology. Whites trust the police more than blacks; conservatives trust the police more than liberals. But a Washington Post poll reveals a rare moment of deep consensus across the political spectrum on two measures for reforming the police.∂ The survey, which was conducted after the recent non-indictment of police officers who caused the deaths of unarmed black men Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York, shows that 86 of Americans support requiring that patrol officers in their communities wear video cameras while on duty, and 87 support having independent prosecutors handle oversee cases in which police kill unarmed citizens.∂ Even among Republicans who think the grand jury was right to decline to indict the police officer whose chokehold caused Garner's death this summer, 76 percent support independent prosecutors, according to the Washington Post.∂ These instances of cross-partisan agreement are noteworthy given the stark divides between liberals and conservative and whites and blacks on virtually everything else covered by the survey. For example, 80 of white Republicans consider Brown and Garner's death to be isolated incidents, while 60 of white Democrats believe they're part of a broader pattern. Blacks are twice as likely as whites to doubt the sufficiency of police training on restraining the use of force, and even more skeptical than whites on whether police are held accountable for misconduct. ∂ All this is taking place against a backdrop in which recent police brutality incidents have corresponded with whites reporting increasing faith in the police to be color blind when it comes to protecting their local community.∂ So if the nation is so deeply at odds on the fairness of the police, then what explains the points of consensus on police reform? The answer lies in the fact that body cameras and independent prosecutors can't easily be filtered through the conventional language of political ideology. Body cameras haven't (yet) been racialized or associated with pro- or anti-authoritarian sentiment, and at face value they sound fair to respondents who have by and large never had to contemplate how to improve law enforcement practices.∂ rtment routinely used racial profiling or excessive force.
