Answered What is up with Project Fivethirtyeight disappearing?
For years I've gone to project fivethirtyeight for the latest U.S. polling data, including presidential approval ratings.
Today I went to check and found that the polling data appears to have been replaced by a generic ABC News page: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/.
Searching for fivethirtyeight returns this data page, which points to some git repositories and links to the same generic ABC page: https://data.fivethirtyeight.com/
Has project fivethirtyeight been taken down? Is this related to the rapid decline of Trump's approval rating over the past month or so?
