Texas: DeSart model shows Trump in the lead

The DeSart model is included in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. According to this model, Clinton will receive 39.2% of the two-party vote share in Texas, whereas Trump will win 60.9%. In comparison, on April 27, Clinton was predicted to achieve only 38.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models often contain large errors, and should be interpreted with caution. Rather than relying on results from single econometric models, the recommended strategy rely on combined econometric models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.
