Broad consensus among component methods about election outcome

Polly currently predicts a national two-party vote share of 53.2% for Clinton and 46.8% for Trump. The PollyVote's component methods widely agree on the election outcome: Five expect a victory for Clinton and one expects that Trump will win. Contrary to Polly's forecast, Trump has a lead in the econometric model of 52.1%. A look at the component methods predicting a win for Clinton shows that quantitative index models, with a predicted vote share of 53.3%, are the closest to PollyVote's prognosis. With a vote share of 58.8% the prediction markets deviate the most from the PollyVote prognosis.
